The Economist/YouGov survey found 79 percent of Democrats would support Harris at the party's nominee in November if Biden chose to withdraw from the race. A growing number of Democrats are calling for the incumbent to step aside in the wake of a poor debate performance against former President Trump last month.

Roughly 28 percent of Democrats said Harris was more likely than Biden to win against Trump. About 32 percent said the vice president was just as likely and 24 percent said she was less likely to defeat the former president in the fall.

So 21% of the people you need won't support her. That is an amazing strategy right there #3 | Posted by truthhurts

I don't think you understand what losing like 5% of the base will do #7 | Posted by truthhurts

Harris being a [replacement] is good news for Republicans. She's objectively terrible. #34 | Posted by BellRinger

I'm genuinely curious who you would consider to be a good replacement. If you wouldn't mind throwing a few names out there.

Therefore, my personal preference, if Biden should step down, would be Adam Schiff. #37 | Posted by Twinpac

No argument from me regarding Schiff. Unfortunately Dems have that Blacks and Women issue in passing over Kamala. Not something that Schiff could help the Dems with.

Can't demand support from women and Blacks every election and then toss them by the wayside when they have a good argument for the office (Hillary 2016 vibes).

Who's talking about abandoning. I'd assume that Schiff would recognize her value and she'd stay on the ticket as V.P.

I think folks would see that as an insult. She's already second in line for the office, so to have some White guy jump in front of her and take the top spot from her and keep her number two?
