Social media users were taken aback by a recent column from 'The Hill' proposing former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton as a potential replacement for President Biden in the 2024 election. The opinion piece, titled 'Ready for Round 2: Why we Need Hillary more than ever,' argued that Clinton, who lost to former President Trump in 2016, is the most suitable candidate to succeed Biden amid growing calls for him to suspend his re-election campaign.
The column, authored by a contributor, made waves on social media, with reactions from various individuals, including senior Trump advisor Jason Miller, who speculated about the possibility of Clinton running. The author of the piece highlighted Clinton's qualifications, describing her as one of the most qualified individuals to ever run for the presidency, emphasizing her experience, advocacy for children's rights and healthcare, and her appeal to voters who regret not supporting her in the past.
The article suggested that Clinton could attract swing-back voters crucial for winning elections and positioned her as a seasoned and adaptable candidate who could offer stability, restoration, and progress without the burden of incumbency. The piece received attention on social media platforms, with contrasting opinions from commentators and users expressing both support and opposition to the idea of Clinton running against Trump in 2024.
Conservative commentator Alex Sheppard expressed skepticism about Clinton's likability as a politician, while former cop and law enforcement consultant Deon Joseph and user @TheMagaHulk indicated their support for Trump in response to the speculation about Clinton's potential candidacy.
