“She’s Running!” Hillary Clinton To Replace Joe Biden
The strongest argument against replacing President Joe Biden as the 2024 Democratic nominee is the notion that no suitable successor exists. But there is, and not just a good one but one of the most qualified people ever to run for the office: Hillary Rodham Clinton.
🚨🇺🇸SHE’S BAAACCCCKKKK…. CLINTON 2024?!

For what feels like longer than two weeks, we have publicly and endlessly debated about Biden’s candidacy. Democrats have repeatedly called on him to make a decision. It is damaging, divisive and only serves to further improve Donald Trump’s chances. I have ferociously defended Biden in the past and demanded that Democrats fall in line behind our guy, but we need to put the debate to bed. If Biden is to yield the arena, we must consider why Clinton is not just a fitting champion to take up the mantle, but perhaps the mightiest of all.
Let’s get this out of the way first: Clinton is younger than both Biden and Trump. Given the current furor over age, this is not a trivial fact; energy and stamina are equated with capability.
Clinton is a ready-made replacement. She possesses an unparalleled resume and an unmatched depth of experience. She has consistently redefined the roles she has served, from secretary of State and U.S. senator to first lady and Children’s Defense Fund attorney. Her extensive background in domestic and international affairs is not just impressive; at a time when global politics are increasingly volatile and complex, her experience is priceless. Her continued advocacy for children’s rights and health care—a topic of ever-increasing importance post-pandemic—adds another layer of appeal.
Critics will be quick to point to the 2016 controversies, which ranged from emails to, well, mostly emails, but these attacks are tired and exhaustively investigated, and she has been cleared of all charges — Donald Trump has not.
Despite winning the popular vote, there are millions of voters who, with a healthy dose of hindsight, regret not supporting her in 2016. This buyer’s remorse reflects her undimmed capability and a broader disillusionment with Trump’s divisive rhetoric. These swing-back voters are crucial to winning; Clinton can turn past regrets into proactive support by being a powerful reminder of the stakes of straying in 2024. And according to a poll released in the wake of Biden’s disastrous debate, Clinton is already favored to take down Trump, 43 percent to 41 percent.
Acknowledging lessons from past campaigns is not about just correcting mistakes but also adapting to the ever-changing political landscape. Biden won under unusual circumstances, campaigning primarily from his home in lockdown. Having been on the ground in 2016 and a front-row spectator in 2020, Clinton is uniquely placed to evaluate and improve campaign strategies. Fundraising would not be a challenge for her; throughout her campaigns for office, she amassed billions in campaign funds from grassroots donations, high-dollar fundraisers and political action committees.
