They finally get it. After the campaign of the Democratic Party and its military branch, the media, to release Biden after the controversial debate with Trump, in which the victory of Obama, Pelosi and Schumer played an important role, Biden He has given his arm. from going

What lies ahead?

The two major parties held primary elections to select their candidates. As for the presidential candidates, each state uses its own method, election or elections, to choose how many representatives will come to the party convention to choose the winner. Officially, until it is announced in the convention, one is not a candidate, which makes it especially important that the first presidential debate is chosen at the end of May, when Trump or Biden are not candidates yet.

The Democratic Convention will be held between August 19 and 22 in Chicago. There are 4,000 polling agents and all but a dozen have pledged to vote for Biden. By withdrawing, you free your representatives from their commitment, who will vote for whoever they want for the first time. As if they want to vote for the Pope, or Bernie Sanders. If no one has a majority, successive rounds of voting will begin where, in addition to the 4,000 I already mentioned, more than 700 “proxies” placed there by the Party will enter until someone reach the most. Predictably, party leaders will arrive at the convention considering a reduced number of candidates. Ways to attend a conference with few names, or just one, have already been discussed, such as asking representatives directly and holding open debates between those who have already been favored in the past, in what will be similar to the convention. of a Spanish party rather than the traditional form of an American party.

In short, we can deal with it share the meeting which will also take place in Chicago, where it is expected that many activists will try to break it. left size especially angry that their leaders have not fully surrendered to the side of Hamas. Whoever emerges, it seems difficult for a consensus candidate to emerge and the campaign will start very weak. The only way to avoid this would be to elect the only person who can argue that he has more right than anyone else to succeed Biden and thus avoid that scenario, which is none other than Vice President Kamala Harris. They will make sure that a party that declares itself very much in favor of diversity and inclusion will not open the door for the majority black woman who will be the natural successor and who can become the first president of the United States. .

The problem, naturally, is that Harris is even more popular than Biden, which is saying something, and he has never, in his entire career, been able to win a competitive election. When the first debates of 2020 began, it was already a committee, but for California, it meant that it was the most important guarantee of the situation. He is among the favorites and has a good position in the polls. But once the public started to get to know him better, he fell in the polls and was eliminated before the polls even started. As vice president, his popularity also fell in the first year, which is when he wanted to gain more popularity. His unpopularity is what, without a doubt, prevented him from playing item 25 of the nation to dethrone his boss during his first term, which is what many of us expected.

So, the Democrat has two options: Harris and the conference shared where he and some of the most famous governors will appear before, viz Gavin Newsom. The polls that have been conducted these days do not show that there is anyone, at this time, whose results against Trump are very different from those of Biden, but that may change during the campaign. The governor of California is probably the best option available to the Democrats, but the most realistic would be Kamala Harris. So the outlook, although improved, is still not rosy for the Democrats. I have no pity for them, really: for four years they have had all the opportunity in the world to pressure Biden not to re-vote and they like to continue trying to deceive everyone about his position. Now they alone have to suffer the consequences.
