With the midterm elections seven months away, President Biden's approval rating has been a top concern among Democrats. Inflation, the economy, and immigration are some of the leading topics for voters and many are disillusioned with the President's handling of them. As questions arise regarding President Biden's competency for the next election, many wonder if a stronger candidate could win the race.
