A whopping 58 per cent of U.S. voters don’t think Joe Biden should run for reelection in 2024, while 56 per cent also say they don’t want Donald Trump to run in the next presidential election.
If Biden didn’t run, according to a Morning Consult/Politico poll released Wednesday, Vice President Kamala Harris has the plurality of votes to replace him with 31 per cent saying they would want her on the ticket if not Biden in 2024.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is in second place with 11 per cent.
Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortez are tied for third place with 8 per cent each – even though AOC is not old enough to run for president.

Among GOP voters, 86 per cent say Biden shouldn’t run for reelection and 31 per cent of Democrats also don’t want to give the the president another four years.

The same poll asked voters what they feel about Trump running for president again in 2024 – the results were just as split among the parties.
Overall, 39 per cent of respondents are OK with him running, but 56 per cent don’t want him to make another bid.
Sixty-nine per cent of Republicans want Trump in the White House again and only 27 per cent don’t want another run from the ex-president.
Among Democrats, however, a whopping 82 per cent don’t want Trump running for reelection and only 14 per cent say they do want him to run.
It’s not immediately clear why, but of the 1,998 registered voters polled in the survey, the Democrats or left leaners may feel the former president running is good because he could possibly be defeated again in 2024.
A majority of independent voters hope neither Biden nor Trump runs again in 2024.
Fifty-nine per cent of independent voters saying no to Trump and 67 per cent say Biden shouldn’t seek a second consecutive term.

Biden has long said that he will run for reelection after his four years are up, snuffing rumors that he was only running in 2020 to defeat Trump and help usher in a replacement of his choosing.
Trump has also teased a run in 2024 – but says he won’t announce until after the 2022 midterm elections.
The former president told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt in an interview earlier this month that his supporters would be ‘angry’ if he didn’t launch a bid.
Biden’s approval rating has dipped to 43.3 per cent, according to a rolling average by FiveThirtyEight. His disapproval has spiked to 50.7 per cent.
Vice President Harris’ approval stands at nearly the same, a Tuesday Hill/HarrisX poll revealed.
