Democrat insiders are pushing failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton as a potential 2024 front-runner.
In a Tuesday Wall Street Journal op-ed, Schoen Cooperman, former pollster for Bill Clinton, and Andrew Stein, a former New York City council member, wrote Hillary Clinton is the Democrats’ “best option” to defeat the Republican nominee for president in 2024.
“Hillary Clinton remains ambitious, outspoken and convinced that if not for Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey’s intervention and Russian interference that she would have won the 2016 election,” the men wrote about Hillary’s 2016 election loss, “and she may be right.”
The report dismisses Vice President Kamala Harris or President Joe Biden as legitimate 2024 contenders.
Alternatively, the authors estimate Hillary would be considered the “change candidate” when contrasted to the Democrats’ failed leadership while controlling all branches of government leading up to 2022.
“She is already in an advantageous position to become the 2024 Democratic nominee,” they claim. “She is an experienced national figure who is younger than Mr. Biden and can offer a different approach from the disorganized and unpopular one the party is currently taking.”
Mentioning Bill Clinton’s reflections on Hillary’s failed 2016 campaign, the report suggests “[e]ven Bill Clinton recently set the stage for his wife’s potential 2024 candidacy.”
Bill toldPeople magazine in December that his wife still remains the “most qualified person to run for office in my lifetime, including me,” and suggested her failed bid against Donald Trump was “one of the most profound mistakes we ever made.”
Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton by 77 Electoral College votes in 2016. Hillary has dubbed her failed candidacy as a loss that “made her cry.”
Optimism over Trump's candidacy has risen steadily since October, when he overcame Biden as the odds-on favorite to win the presidency, according to the Las Vegas Review Journal. Electionbettingodds.com, an aggregator of betting sites FTX.com, Betfair.com, Smarkets.com, and PredictIt.org, gives the former president a 28-percent chance of recapturing the Oval Office. It gives Biden a 17-percent chance and Harris a 10-percent chance.
Biden has said he will run for president in 2024 if he is in "good health." A majority of Democratic voters want him to run for reelection, according to a December Politico/Morning Consult poll. He has also said running against Trump would "increase the prospect" of a second term.
"Why would I not run against Donald Trump as the nominee?" Biden told ABC News's David Muir in December. "That would increase the prospect of running."
Biden's approval rating has plummeted during his first year in office, driven by his administration's handling of the southern border crisis, the botched U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan, and his failure to declare victory over the COVID-19 pandemic.
Republicans are also heavily favored to recapture the House and Senate in the 2022 elections, according to Electionbettingodds.com. About 70 percent of bettors predict the GOP will win the Senate, and 83 percent predict the Republican Party will win the House.
Trump has not declared his 2024 candidacy. He said in December that if he doesn't run, however, his "base is going to be very angry."
A majority of Republican voters want him to run for a second term, according to a Politico/Morning Consult poll in December.
