Could we see former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton run against former President Donald Trump again?
One political insider argues that Clinton believes the presidency is her "natural right," and says the deep unpopularity of US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris could see the former first lady's candidacy in 2024.
With Biden's popularity low and the American people's deep alienation from his deputy, Harris, it seems that the presidential race field has become empty after it was full of those looking for this high office.
And political commentator, Joe Concha, explained in an opinion piece published a few days ago in the newspaper "The Hill" that this appears to be an ideal opportunity for the former presidential contestant, Hillary Clinton, 74, to return again to the competition.
"Hillary Clinton seems to have always believed that the first female president of the United States is her right and no one else," he wrote.
"Given the pathetic extent on the Democratic side, with or without Joe Biden, Clinton may get a second chance to win the office that once went to her husband," he says.
Most Experienced Contestant
Clinton's stunning 2016 election defeat at the hands of former President Donald Trump surprised political critics and election observers.
As a former first lady, a US senator from New York, and a former secretary of state, Clinton's credentials made her one of the most experienced contenders for the White House in history.
Since then, a myriad of reasons have been given for losing the race, including Americans' misunderstanding of the political establishment and the actions of former FBI Director James Comey related to the investigation into Clinton's emails.
Hillary Clinton could be back in the presidential race, Hill columnist Joe Concha predicts.
Biden would be 82 years old if elected president in 2024, breaking the previous record for the oldest person ever sworn in to the White House.
Finally, in a series of new interviews this month, Hillary said she continues to criticize Comey's act.
"I think if it wasn't for Comey's trick 10 days before the election, of course I would have won," she told NBC host Willie Geist in an interview.
And since Clinton stepped out of the political world five years ago, Democrats now don't seem to have any viable rising stars on the horizon to run for president.
bench few
"The Democratic bench is few in New York these days," Concha wrote.
Andrew Cuomo is no longer conservative, and it's a complete disgrace.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has been spending so much time and resources just to avoid being ousted in deep blue California during the impeachment vote earlier this year.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg isn't even 40, and he has a supply chain crisis on his resume.
Also, where are Senator Bernie Sanders, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-D), and Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ)?
By contrast, Republicans have mostly eyes on Trump.
Multiple polls of Republican voters have also shown that they very much want Trump as their candidate for 2024. Former Vice President Mike Pence and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis have been put forward as other possible possibilities, but they are far from the former president on the ballot.
Clinton said last Sunday she would bet on her comeback in 2024. She appears to have a chance, as the massive unpopularity of Harris and Biden suggests that Democrats may not have a candidate ready for 2024.
call to action
Clinton issued a call for Democrats to act, but kept her future intentions vague, asking, "Are we going to succumb to all this lies and disinformation, this organized effort to undermine the rule of law and our institutions, or are we going to stand up to it all?"
Biden plans, at least for now, to run for a second term, although he will already be in his 80s before that term begins. His historic selection of Harris for vice president came with the assumption that she would take over the Democratic Party when his term expired, but her deep unpopularity coupled with devastating headlines undermined her potential candidacy. The latest data from the pollster shows that nearly 50% reject Biden, and only 43.3% favor him running for a second term, close to the lowest any president has ever had.
Harris's voter disapproval rating is somewhat on par with Biden's, but few Americans - 41.3% - approve of her job as vice president.
Meanwhile, a recent poll shows that Trump and Biden are also in a near-hopeless situation for a potential rivalry in 2024, despite Trump's policies winning.
A recent poll showed that Biden and Trump may be close to a tie in the second term in 2024.
Biden leads Trump by only one percentage point, according to a recent Wall Street Journal poll.
But 48% of respondents said they prefer Trump's policies to Biden's, while 46% say the opposite.
