The political situation is quickly spiraling for the Biden family.
Joe Biden faces an impeachment inquiry over his involvement in an international bribery scheme. Simultaneously, Hunter Biden faces three federal criminal charges and up to 25 years in prison.
At 80, Biden holds the record for the oldest-serving president in U.S. history. Should he win a second term in 2024, he would be 82 at the start of it and 86 at the end.

Making matters worse, Kamala Harris is the least popular vice president in US history. Poles overwhelmingly show she doesn’t have enough support to win the White House.
In a moment of desperation, it appears the Democrats only have one option to energize its base and put forward a viable candidate in the 2024 presidential race: Nominate former first lady Michelle Obama.
Political commentator Tucker Carlson argued that Democrats are looking for ways to replace Biden.
“I think this is to make way for Michelle,” Carlson said. “Just my view. Not provable. We’ll see.”
RealClearPolitics contributor and former GOP presidential campaign advisor Myra Adams also argued that Michelle is likely the Democrat’s best option to replace Biden.
Polls show that Michelle is far more favorable and more admired among Democrat voters compared to Harris.
Adams also mentioned that Michelle would benefit tremendously from her “rock star” status, similar the Democrats’ obsession of former President Barack Obama in 2008.
Michelle Obama is consistently one of the most popular public figures in the United States.
A recent YouGov poll found that 77% of Americans have a favorable opinion of her, while only 15% have an unfavorable opinion.
If Joe Biden does not run for re-election in 2024, Michelle Obama would be a leading contender for the Democratic nomination. A recent Hill-HarrisX poll found that she is the second most popular potential candidate among Democratic voters, after Vice President Kamala Harris.
