Leading Democrats refuse to replace Biden

Leading Democrats refuse to replace Biden despite calls for his resignation.

Following a dismal debate performance, prominent Democrats on Sunday ruled out the prospect of unseating

President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee and urged party members to instead concentrate on the ramifications of a second Donald Trump presidency.

Following several days of lamenting Joe Biden’s lackluster performance in his on-stage debate with Donald Trump,

Democratic leaders decisively dismissed suggestions that their party select a younger nominee for president on November 5.

On Sunday, Biden, 81, was cuddling up to family at the presidential retreat at Camp David.

According to those familiar with the matter, Biden’s family was pushing him to continue running and winning. This information was reported by the New York Times.

According to the tabloid, he was secretly irritated by the way his team had ready him for the event on Thursday night.

Since Thursday, there have been constant calls for Biden to resign. According to a CBS post-debate poll, the percentage of

Democrats who think Biden shouldn’t be running for president has increased by ten points, from 36% in February to 46% now.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution wrote in an editorial on Sunday, “The unfortunate truth is that Biden should withdraw from the race, for the good of the nation he has served so admirably for half a century.”

“President Biden now needs to take a shade of retirement.”Leaders of the Democratic Party opposed this.

Sen. Raphael Warnock, a Democrat from Georgia and one of several Democrats considered as Biden’s potential successor, answered, “Absolutely not.”

“Improper discussions occur,” he stated on NBC’s Meet the Press show.

“The inquiry is: ‘Who has Donald Trump ever demonstrated support for apart from himself and those who are similar to him?’

Joe Biden and I have the responsibility of seeing to it that he crosses the finish line in November.

While acknowledging that Biden had experienced a setback, Democratic leader of the House of Representatives Hakeem Jeffries noted that this was

“nothing more than a setup for a comeback.” Jeffries might become speaker of the House the following year if his party is able to seize control of the chamber in November.

He said to MSNBC, “So the moment that we’re in is a comeback moment.”

Leading Biden surrogate Senator Chris Coons of Delaware said on ABC’s This Week that Biden must continue to run in order to guarantee Trump’s defeat.

According to Coons, “I believe he’s the only Democrat who can defeat Donald Trump.”

It will be up to Biden to determine whether he wishes to withdraw his reelection campaign now that Democratic leaders are supporting him.

However, some Democrats left open the prospect of selecting a different front-runner for president.

A well-known Democrat in Congress, Representative Jamie Raskin, said on MSNBC that the party was having “frank and serious and rigorous conversations.”

“He will be our convention’s keynote speaker, regardless of whether he runs for office or not. In order to move forward, we will unite around him, stated Raskin.

A raspy-sounding Biden gave a poor, sluggish performance during the discussion, frequently stumbling over his sentences. Subsequently, some

Democrats claimed in private that the performance might work against them.

During the discussion, Trump repeated a number of well-known lies, such as the assertions that he won the 2020 election, that

Democrats promote infanticide, and that immigrants are the cause of a crime epidemic.

Co-chair of the Republican National Committee and Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara told Fox News that her husband was feeling “great” following “probably the best debate of his political career.”

After the debate, Biden had a hectic schedule of seven campaign events spread over four states before traveling to Camp David.

The timing of Biden’s visit—which had been planned for months—and the fact that he was joined by family

members who had a significant influence on his previous decisions to run for president have increased the scrutiny around the trip.

A family photo shoot would be part of the event, according to two sources who are aware of the schedule.
His spouse Jill, as well as the Biden kids and grandkids, are present.

Hunter, the president’s son, was among the most vocal supporters of Biden to hold off on dropping out, according to

The New York Times. On June 11, Hunter became the first child of a sitting president to be found guilty of a felony after a jury

found him guilty of lying about using illegal drugs when he bought a handgun in 2018.

A Saturday afternoon teleconference was held by DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison and Biden campaign manager

Julie Chavez Rodriguez with dozens of committee members nationwide, including some of the party’s most powerful figures.

Two participants on the call, who wished to remain anonymous in order to discuss private matters, described the

conversation as a combination planning meeting and motivational speech for the approaching national convention.
