Joe Biden is being encouraged to replace Kamala Harris with a blast from the past to aid his floundering chances at re-election.
Biden, who has struggled in the polls nationally and in key swing states, has left Democrats wondering if major change is needed to beat Donald Trump
Questions and doubts exist over the health and ability to perform the job of Biden, at 81
Harris - the first female and first black vice president in American history - has also struggled, with poll numbers saying a majority of Americans don't think she would be a good president.
Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Kathleen Parker wrote Tuesday that Democrats should look to their recent past for a new VP.
In her piece, she wondered why no one has floated Hillary Clinton as a potential running mate.
Clinton, of course, served as First Lady, Secretary of State and a United States Senator before losing to Donald Trump in 2016.
Parker argues that Harris lacks 'competency' which deters voters who see Biden's 'steady decline over the years' and that Clinton could provide reassurance, despite being 76 years old herself.
'If Biden needs to step down, even those who didn't vote for Clinton would have confidence in her ability to keep the country on track,'
She also believes that Clinton's 2016 loss - which she's spent the last eight years playing the blame game over - still rankles her and leaves her with unfinished business.
'At 76, she might want no part of it, but it's hard to retire when you feel your job isn't done,' she wrote, citing Clinton endorsing a candidate in a New York Congressional district to unseat 'Squad' member Jamaal Bowman.
Parker, a Pulitzer Prize winner, called it 'impossible to ignore' Biden's ''stumbles, his search for words, his occasional blank stare.'

Go all the way and run a kamala/hillery ticket. yeah, that’s the ticket!
Death affirming Jojo juice.
Amen...
This is not accurate per an OH Board of Elections official.
Maybe that’s the case in VT, but not in OH.
Don’t live in VT. But, different rules in different places.
Then for sure Joe’s a dead man.
