在拜登与唐纳德·特朗普的辩论表现令人尴尬后，民主党正在争相寻找 2024 年总统候选人的潜在替代者。
但根据辩论后的民意调查，米歇尔·奥巴马是迄今为止唯一可能击败特朗普的民主党挑战者。
其他名字，如加州州长加文·纽瑟姆、密歇根州州长格雷琴·惠特默和副总统卡马拉·哈里斯，也在考虑之中——但到目前为止，没有人比特朗普在民意调查中表现更好。
虽然这位前第一夫人没有公开表示有兴趣加入竞选，但看起来她拥有最清晰的途径参加竞选并被民主党接受。
然而，民主党内部人士承认，党的规则使得其他候选人今年基本上不可能获得提名。
Democrats are scrambling for a potential replacement for President Joe Biden on the 2024 ticket after his embarrassing debate performance against Donald Trump.
But Michelle Obama is so far the only potential Democratic challenger who could beat Trump, according to post-debate polling.
Others names like California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Vice President Kamala Harris are being floated – but none so far are faring better than Trump in polls.
While the former first lady has not said anything publicly about any interest in being on the ticket, it appears she has one of the clearest paths toward getting added to the ballot and accepted by Democrats.
Those within the Democratic Party have acknowledged, however, that party rules make it essentially impossible for any other candidate to earn the nomination this year.
