If Hillary Clinton is forced to step down from the top of the presidential ticket because of health reasons, Democrats would like Vermont Sen. Bernard Sanders to be her replacement, a new poll finds.
Forty-eight percent of likely Democratic voters supported Mr. Sanders to take Mrs. Clinton’s place if a replacement had to be named, according to a Rasmussen survey released Friday. Twenty-two percent picked Vice President Joseph R. Biden, 14 percent said Mrs. Clinton’s running mate, Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine would be an ideal choice, and 9 percent chose someone else.
Questions about Mrs. Clinton’s health have dogged her campaign since a video surfaced Sunday of her collapsing into her van in the middle of a 9/11 memorial ceremony. Mrs. Clinton left the event early because of she was “overheated,” her campaign said, later revealing she had been suffering from pneumonia since Friday.
