Democrats question replacing Biden

Politics 15:30 30.06.2024

President Joe Biden’s debate performance is raising new questions about whether Democrats have any other options in November if the 81-year-old president is no longer willing or able to campaign, Ednews informs referring to Bloomberg.

 

With Biden having already secured a presumptive nomination, Democrats’ prospects for a course change are diminishing.

 

The decision to replace him would be made by the members of the DNC. But then the party would face another hurdle: Printed ballots with Biden’s name already on them.

 

Vice President Kamala Harris is the most logical heir apparent, but it wouldn’t be automatic.

 

Other candidates waiting in the wings — who deferred to Biden and continue to publicly support him — include California Governor Gavin Newsom, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

 

None of those candidates have polled any better against Trump than Biden does, according to a Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll of seven battleground states.
