A new poll published by Premise provides some insight into who Americans think can step in for President Biden at the top of the Democrat ticket should he decide to bow out of the 2024 election.

It’s a tight race between Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, and Hillary Clinton.

Could a Trump-Clinton rematch be in the cards?

From The Daily Caller:

Vice-President Kamala Harris leads at 18 percent in a field in which ten candidates poll over four percent. 2016 nominee Hillary Clinton is in second at 15 percent of the vote, with Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont in striking distance at 12 percent. The margin of error from the Premise poll is four percent, meaning all three candidates are in a statistical tie for the lead.

Harris ran against President Biden in the 2020 primary race before dropping out after a debate stage spat with former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii. Biden chose Harris as his running mate in August of 2020 after promising to choose a woman for the job.

Clinton lost the 2016 general election to former President Donald Trump and dismissed any speculation of a 2024 challenge to Biden last summer, throwing her support behind the incumbent.

Sanders was the runner-up for the Democratic nominations in 2016 and 2020. Prior to the 2020 South Carolina primary, Sanders was leading the delegate count and appeared to be on track to win the nomination. He lost to Biden after several more moderate candidates dropped out and endorsed the former VP.

Rounding out the top five: California Governor Gavin Newsom (11%) and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg (7%).
