The pressure on Joe Biden (81) to throw in the towel is increasing by the day. More and more prominent Democrats are suggesting that he should withdraw from the race for the American presidency. A member of parliament said publicly during a recent meeting that Biden no longer recognized him.
In his call for the withdrawal, Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts described a meeting with Biden on the sidelines of the 80th anniversary of D-Day in Normandy.
“Part of a deeper problem”
“For the first time he didn’t seem to recognize me,” Moulton wrote. While that can happen with age, he believes his experience in Normandy was “part of a deeper problem.”
Doubts about Biden’s mental fitness
The backdrop to the uprising is doubt about the president’s mental fitness and his ability to hold office for another four years. A new wave of Democratic members of Congress on Friday voiced concerns that Biden could lose the presidential election to Republican opponent Donald Trump and that the party could lose control of both houses of Congress.
The incumbent president, who is currently isolating due to a corona infection and does not appear in public, seems unfazed by the uprising within the party and has announced that he will return to the election campaign next week. According to American media, the 81-year-old no longer categorically rules out a withdrawal, given the enormous resistance within his own ranks.
The deadline is August 7th
Will Biden pick a last-minute replacement for him in the battle for the White House? He will have to decide quickly anyway, because the nomination deadline is August 7. The discussion about who could take over from him is now almost decided: his replacement Kamala Harris (59). However, she is almost out of time.
The Vice President’s team is working on a secret strategy
But according to ‘NBC’ and ‘Politico’, their supporters have long been working on a strategy. A plan that no one has yet publicly stated: Biden must immediately give her preference, not only as a candidate, but also as president. His corona illness was the ideal pretext.
Harris has continued to campaign in Biden’s absence, making a high-profile stop at an ice cream parlor in Washington on Friday, a spot usually reserved for self-proclaimed ice cream lover Biden.
“In a way, she’s auditioning for the presidency,” Ashley Etienne, Harris’ former communications director, told CNN. She needs to show people she’s ready. “She needs to do it in a more profound way. The campaign needs to give her that opportunity.”
