Panic's growing. More and more influential democrats are trying to influence 81-year-old president Biden to quit his second term. The Republicans call on him not only to retreat from the presidential run but besides to immediately resign from the office that Biden is to hold by the beginning of January next year. The president claims that only “the Almighty God” could convince him to step down.
The avalanche of criticism fell after First presidential debate Between Biden and Trump, June 27 in Atlanta. The president fell weak and weak; he looked and spoke like an old man, tangling in sentences and sometimes completely losing the subject. Democrats are devastated, and Biden's staff is trying to save morale, announcing that the president had just a cold.
Biden's campaigners rightly concluded that the president must now appear in the media much and with the energy so clearly lacking during the debate.
On Friday, July 5, the president tried to save his image, giving a long ABC interview. There he actually fell out more, in the right light and makeup, though inactive not great. During the interview, he stated that only God could force him to resign from his second term. He added that he did not intend to undergo tests on intellectual fitness or share the results of specified tests with citizens. He admitted that the debate did not go well and that he had just a bad day. The ABC interview watched over 8 million afraid voters.
It didn't calm the party. Democrats are aware that Biden's failure can worsen the results of all the candidates of their party, due to the fact that in November Americans will besides choose MPs and senators for Congress. respective members of legislature on the democratic side publically called on the president to retreat from the election. "We know we will lose," said Democratic MP Scott Peters of California, "and it would be foolish not to search an alternative."
"I can't believe the president can beat Donald Trump," declared Democratic MP Angie Craig of Minnesota. "If [a Vice President] Kamala Harris has a chance to win against Trump, the president should withdraw," added California politician Adam Schiff.
Reportedly Democratic Senator Mark Warner of Virginia is gathering a group of Senators to appeal to Biden asking him to resign from the campaign. To do so as diplomaticly as possible, they will surely item the years of public service of the current president and call for America to put its destiny before individual ambition. The father of the American nation, George Washington, who voluntarily gave up power after 8 years, can service as an example. Even the erstwhile Democratic leader in the home of Representatives Nancy Pelosi asks whether what the president showed during the debate was just a "one-time episode or already a disease".
The last American president to resign was Richard Nixon. He left in 1974, as a consequence of the Watergate scandal erstwhile his men broke into the Democratic office in Washington.
They call for Biden media to retreat from the campaign, e.g. Adam Server who wrote for the magazine ‘The Atlantic’Article under the simple title "Biden must go". In a akin tone, the observing Capitol paper “The Hill” and the political guru polls and the founder of the FiveThirtyEight platform Nate Silver speak. The same conclusion was reached by a man who promoted Obama, David Axelrod, and besides Van Jones from CNN television, formerly Obama's advisor. This is what any of Biden's run sponsors say today, e.g. Whitney Tilson or Abigail Disney, the heir to Disney's fortune.
Although Biden began to meet voters with double-energy in politically uncertain Pennsylvania (meetings were held in Philadelphia and Harrisburg), in fresh days 2 radio stations admitted that by interviewing Biden the president's staff had given them a list of questions prepared earlier. Journalists ask if Biden will be able to work 24 hours a day for the next 4 years, since he practically stopped appearing publically after 20.
Trump, meanwhile, leads the polls and celebrates. A warm win in the debate, he proposes the next, no rules and no microphones controlled by the journalists conducting the debate.
On the another hand, president of the Permanent peculiar Committee of the home of Representatives for Intelligence, Republican Mike Turner wrote a letter to Biden's chief of staff asking about the function of the president's son, huntsman Biden, in the run and during the eventual second word of father. Young Biden, who stayed late convicted as a criminalHe's not leaving the president's side. The main concern is Hunter's possible access to confidential documents, which president Biden has treated rather recklessly in the past (they were found, for example, in the garage, in his car).
In the event of Biden's win, Republicans plan to hotel to the 25th Amendment to the Constitution, which allows the president to be removed from office if he is not mentally capable.
The 2 most serious obstacles to uncovering individual to replace Biden in the run are the stubbornness of the president himself and the fact that the money for the last 4 months of the run can theoretically be donated to only 1 individual – the current Vice president Kamala Harris, whose name is in the Biden-Harris 2024 campaign. This would seem to be the simplest solution, and in fact in the last days of Harris' listing seem to be increasing – along with her confidence, as her performance at the Essence Festival of Culture in fresh Orleans last weekend was commented.
Unfortunately, over the past 3 and a half years, Vice president Harris has not presented herself favourably in her position either in terms of achievements or in terms of image in the media. More than that, reporters have come to the conclusion that Harris' behaviour is so bad that Biden's administration is specially pushing Kamala distant from the cameras.
Harris scored quite a few bad media moments, telling pure stupidity and lauring in response. He appears to be a mediocre rhetorical liar, hostile to journalists and laughing demonically under the least appropriate circumstances. She is accused of “borrowing” 1 of Martin Luther King's stories, who spoke of a disgruntled small girl met at the civilian rights march. erstwhile her parents yet asked her what she wanted, she answered from the wheelchair: freedom! In the Harris version, that girl was alone.
Another time she announced on tv that the United States had a long-standing and unbreakable alliance with North Korea, and erstwhile asked about the war in Ukraine she began her mediocre consequence with the words: “Ukraine is simply a country in Europe that I am neighbouring another country, Russia.” It's all beautiful sad, due to the fact that actually, America could usage the first president in history, especially the blue one.
The Democratic organization will officially announce its presidential candidate at the National Democratic Convention, designated on 19–22 August. So technically, there's inactive time to look for an alternative.
Other possible candidates, specified as the Michigan State Governor, are spoken of in the media and in the line of call to the supermarket. Gretchen Whitmer (who late had a extremist right-wing effort to centrally abduct), California politician Gavin Newsom (debtly besides relaxed Californian who in the eyes of the remainder of America can't cope with homelessness in his state), current Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg (gay, thus unacceptable by Conservatives), Senator Cory Booker of fresh Jersey or Amy Klobuchar, Minnesota Senator. Most of these characters we already know from 2020 presidential election. The list besides includes Illinois State politician JB Pritzker and Pennsylvania politician Josh Shapiro.
Finally, there are 2 mythical candidates to whom the lost souls of the Democrats pray. The first is no another than Hillary Clinton, the second – Saint Michelle Obama, the real Joanna D’Arc, who, as the Democrats believe, would surely crush Donald Trump with 1 angelic smile. So far no of them have betrayed their intention to run.
