In the context of President Joe Biden’s low approval ratings, currently around 42 percent of Americans approve of his job performance while 51 percent disapprove, she seems like the obvious Democratic frontrunner.
Hilary Clinton could be a presidential candidate in 2024

Considering Biden’s perceived inability to run at 82 years of age in two years, Vice President Kamala Harris's unpopularity as well as the seeming absence of another strong Democrat to lead the ticket in 2024, Clinton appears to be a reasonable choice.
She is younger than Biden, being 74 years old, and is an experienced national figure who may inject new direction into a seemingly directionless Democratic Party.
If Democrats lose control of Congress through the midterms this year, Clinton may front herself as a saviour who will deliver the Democrats from the wilderness of defeat.
Clinton added to speculation about her potential run recently when she warned that if the Democratic Party continues to align itself with its progressive wing and far-left positions to the exclusion of more centrist politics, it would continue to lose ground.
She urged Democrats towards a “careful thinking about what wins elections, and not just in deep-blue districts where a Democrat and a liberal Democrat, or so-called progressive Democrat, is going to win.”
Clinton also took the opportunity to remind the democrats that their majority in Congress “comes from people who win in much more difficult districts.”
Clinton even took aim at the Biden administration, “It means nothing if we…don’t have a White House that we can count on to be sane and sober and stable and productive.”
Her husband Bill Clinton also praised his wife as “the most qualified person to run for office in my lifetime, including me,” adding that not electing her in 2016 was “one of the most profound mistakes we ever made.”
