The Democratic Party does not know who to replace US President Joe Biden with in the upcoming elections, and the Democrats may find themselves in an even more difficult situation. This was reported by Time magazine, Day.Az reports with reference to TASS.
It is noted that even if Biden himself withdraws from the presidential race, the party will find itself in an “even more difficult situation” due to the rush to choose a new candidate. At the same time, it is indicated that there is no “clear favorite” either. All other contenders, including US Vice President Kamala Harris and California Governor Gavin Newsom, are inferior to former President Donald Trump.
The magazine also noted that after Biden’s disastrous debate performance, even his closest allies privately acknowledged it was a disaster.
The first-ever televised debate between a current and former president took place in Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday. In addition, the first televised debate was held in June, four months before the November presidential election. Biden and Trump were not allowed to have talking points with them. The politicians’ microphones were turned off until they were asked to start speaking. CNN has already stated that Biden’s speech caused panic in the Democratic Party, and NBC assessed it as “collective suicide” of the Democrats. Newsweek magazine awarded the victory to Trump. Harris admitted that Biden had a weak start to his performance in the debate. The editorial board of The New York Times called on Biden to withdraw from the election race and give way to a more “energetic” Democratic candidate.
The US presidential election will be held on November 5. Trump has already collected the necessary number of delegate votes to be nominated as the Republican candidate for the post of head of state. Biden, running for a second term, has secured the support of a sufficient number of delegates from the Democratic Party.
