Not if, but when and how – this now seems to be the central question regarding Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the US election campaign. According to NBC, his family is already discussing an exit strategy, but his campaign manager continues to bravely campaign for perseverance.
Slowly but surely, people close to Biden also seem to be looking for an exit scenario for the 81-year-old. As NBC reports, citing the current US president’s inner circle, the family is already working on a plan for how Biden could end his election campaign with his head held high.
Campaign Manager: “It’s definitely there”
Officially, however, people continue to practice slogans of perseverance. Jen O’Malley Dillon, head of Biden’s campaign team, stressed on Friday that the American president wanted to return to the election campaign immediately after his corona isolation. “He is absolutely raring to go,” she said in an interview on MSNBC. The 81-year-old takes the concerns of some Democrats seriously, but is determined to fight for a second term.
The pressure on Biden has been mounting in recent days. Numerous representatives of his Democratic Party have publicly questioned Biden’s physical and mental fitness to run and his chances of winning. Biden has currently retreated to his home in Delaware due to the coronavirus.
Who should replace Biden?
Meanwhile, there is already discussion in the American media, but also in Democratic circles about who could replace Biden. At the top of the list is Vice President Kamala Harris, and the name of California Governor Gavin Newsom is also often mentioned.
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro are also candidates who have their supporters.
Former First Lady Michelle Obama, a bright spot for many Democrats, is also mentioned time and again. According to a Reuters poll, she is the only Democrat who can actually beat Trump. In the past, however, she has consistently stressed that she is not a political person and has never been interested in running for president.
