US Election: Biden Under Pressure To Withdraw From Presidential Race After Poor Debate Performance
After Thursday’s debate against former President Donald Trump, some Democrats are urging President Joe Biden to withdraw from the presidential race.
As reported by the Punch newspaper, concerns have arisen that Biden, portrayed by Trump and his supporters as unfit for office, may be unelectable in November.
A Democratic lawmaker likened Biden’s performance to a past-prime boxer needing his corner to throw in the towel.
Replacing Biden would be challenging, requiring a significant uprising among Democratic National Convention delegates.
Discussions about an open convention and a new nominee are emerging, despite doubts about the feasibility of replacing Biden and identifying a viable alternative candidate.
David Axelrod, a former adviser to President Obama, expressed shock at Biden’s debate performance, suggesting that only Biden can decide whether to continue his campaign.
