Following President Biden's lackluster debate performance last week, there has been speculation about potential replacements for him at the top of the Democratic ticket. While most contenders would still face an uphill battle against former President Trump, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer have emerged as notable names.
In recent polls, both Newsom and Whitmer have trailed behind Trump in hypothetical matchups. However, Whitmer has shown promise, with a November poll indicating she was within the margin of error against Trump, garnering 46% of registered voter support compared to Trump's 48%.
