Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) opened the proverbial floodgates of top Democrats calling for Joe Biden's ouster from the 2024 presidential ticket on Tuesday, calling his mental fitness a "legitimate question." Her comments, in a lunchtime interview with MSNBC, came mere minutes before Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) became the first sitting Democratic lawmaker to call for Biden to bow out of the presidential race. He was quickly followed by Adam Frisch, a Democratic House candidate in Colorado, who echoed the call.
Democrats are finally saying it out loud: Biden might need to go https://t.co/wjX6xsa8oH

If I've translated your comment correctly, it appears that you're asking who would take Joe's place.
Unfortunately, the answer is Kamala. For many of the same reasons as Dems selected Hillary in 2016. Not selecting Kamala would alienate the Dem's Black and women base, much like not selecting Hillary in 2016 would have alienated the Dem women base.
Yeah, Kamala is unpopular and will likely lose to Trump. She might motivate enough of the base to turn out and help the Dems win the House and possibly retain the Senate, though.
On the other hand, Joe might cost the Dems more than the presidency if he insists on sticking around ("Democrats fear 'MAGA trifecta' if Biden drags down House and Senate candidates" www.cnn.com ).
For the Dems, it's not just a question of winning, anymore. It's a matter of reducing their losses.
