And now that? Democrats face the dilemma of whether to support Harris or allow an open convention

ELECTIONS IN THE US

US President Joe Biden’s announcement that he will withdraw from re-election has left Democratic leaders with a major dilemma: should the Democratic Party give massive support to Vice President Kamala Harris or allow an open convention in August?

After President Joe Biden resigned this Sunday to remain the Democratic nominee in the November elections, and after the President expressed his support and endorsement of United States Vice President Kamala Harris to face Donald Trump in a momentous duel, everyone look closely at the movements within the Democratic Party United States.

Harris doesn’t have all the votes in her party’s favor, although she is increasingly reaping them. However, the vice president has stepped on the gas pedal himself and has already declared himself a candidate to become Donald Trump’s new opponent. Biden’s campaign has officially become the vice president’s campaign, which has raised $49.6 million (45.5 million euros) in just one afternoon thanks to donations from activists.

In this time of chaos and uncertainty, a large part of the party and donors They rushed to cover himsuch as former President Bill Clinton and former presidential candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Meanwhile, others, such as former President Barack Obama, influential California Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, or Senate Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, have not expressed sympathy for anyone. In that sense, Obama has asked the Democratic Party nominate an “extraordinary candidate” for the November election, but in his message he has avoided endorsing the vice president.

House Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries issued a statement also saying he would not endorse Harris, who is best positioned to win the nomination within a month.

At this point, no one has said they plan to challenge Harris, who, according to some surveys, has better voting intent numbers against Trump than Biden. The only alternative to Harris who consistently outperforms Trump is another woman of color: Michelle Obama.
