With President Joe Biden's sinking approval numbers and Vice President Kamala Harris' deep unpopularity, the Democratic presidential field that was so crowded in 2020 now appears nearly bare. 

It's the perfect opportunity for Hillary Clinton, 74, to stage a comeback, political commentator Joe Concha explained in an op-ed published Wednesday. 

'Hillary Clinton always seemed to believe the mantle of "First Female President" was her birthright,' Concha wrote for The Hill.

'And given how pathetic the field is on the Democratic side with or without Joe Biden, she may just get a second chance at winning the office her husband so famously made infamous.'

Clinton's 2016 stunning election defeat at the hands of Donald Trump caught political pundits and election watchers by surprise.

As a former First Lady, US Senator from New York and Secretary of State, Clinton's credentials on paper made her one of the most experienced White House contenders in history.

A myriad of reasons has since been offered for her loss, including a misunderstanding of Americans' discontent with the political establishment and former FBI Director James Comey's actions related to a probe into Clinton's emails.

She said as recently as this past Sunday - amid a slew of new interviews this month - that she still holds Comey accountable.

'I do think but for Jim Comey and the stunt he pulled 10 days before the election, I would have won,' Clinton told NBC host Willie Geist in an interview.

But Clinton has been out of the political world for five years now, and since then, it doesn't appear Democrats have any viable rising stars in sight for the next presidential election.
