The current president of the United States should have stepped down a long time ago. He is nearly at the age of 81. Now his body has no capability to run the presidential seat of the US. He is old and weak also. And Joe Biden realized things very late. His supporters and US citizens also think that Joe Biden should take a back step because his opponent, Donald Trump is the strong one. After hesitating for weeks, he finally decided to step aside.
Many people thought that Donald Trump has more chances to win as compared to Joe Biden. Also Trump is the right personality to fix the political mess that happened in the era of Joe Biden.
Early Monday, a letter was released in Australia. In it the current president of the US stated his decision to step aside from the 2024 election campaign would be the best for the nation. But at this time he is focusing on his job as president for the rest of his term.
Many citizens of the United State are thankful to Joe Biden for his efforts and achievements. He ends up by giving a strong chance to win the presidential race and hold the duties. Biden’s refusal to face the truth, especially after losing support since last month’s debate, could hurt both his own legacy and the chances of his successor.
It is not confirmed that Donald Trump will win the race. It may be possible that Kamala Hsrris will be picked as Vice President. Also Joe Biden praised her by saying, she is a good partner.
Another option is to have a race where candidates try to win delegates at the Democratic convention in Chicago starting August 19, before the November election.
Many Democrats believe that Harris is the strong competitor of Donald Trump. She may beat him. But if the party overlooks her now, it might upset black voters and loyal Democrat women, who are very important to the party.
How much damage has been done?
Still now Joe Biden thinks that he wins the race. But the polls said something else. But many democrats and his supporters pressure him to not leave the presidential race.
This is the time to see how much this has hurt the Democrats’ chances against Trump. Joe Biden didn’t want to step back from the race at the same time his opponent Doanld Trump was getting stronger and uniting the Republicans.
Before Biden’s bad debate performance, Democrats leaders don’t think about voters who thought that Biden should not participate in the election campaign because he is old and not able to handle his duties.
Now, the dark mood around the Democrats’ campaign is starting to shift towards a more hopeful outlook.
The Republican National Convention stands in favor of Donald Trump and Democratic stand against him. They think that Donald Trump is weak and can not fulfill his responsibilities. According t o them Trump wants to divide the US nation. His promise to bring the country together is fake and does not last long, just as long as the bandage on his ear.
Trump supporters also said that they also don’t like him but Trump views compel them to vote in favor of him. Trump said he will focus on different things like immigration, the economy, and crime.
Democrats hope a new candidate can shift the campaign’s direction and remind people of the mess during Trump’s first term. They believe a second term would be even more chaotic and uncontrolled.
For example, during the convention, Trump’s speech quickly went back to his usual mix of angry comments and big promises. His recent speeches have also included insults towards Democrats like Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi.
Democrats also point out that is the real danger for American democracy.
The Republicans are trying to avoid a big loss in the House and Senate elections. If they control both and have a majority on the Supreme Court, Trump would have a lot of power.
Biden is still at home in Delaware with COVID-19 but will speak to the nation later this week.
His party is relieved by his announcement. Before deciding to step aside, Biden was criticized for acting like Trump.
