On Sunday, US President Joe Biden announced that he is withdrawing from the presidential race but intends to remain President until his term expires at the end of January 2025.
Ever since President Joe Biden‘s disastrous debate with the Republican candidate Donald Trump, calls have been piling up in the Democratic Party for President Biden to withdraw from the presidential race. Calls were launched by the party’s bigwigs and big financial backers, and they were later also joined by pro-Democratic media and political commentators. According to the latest polls, almost two-thirds of the Democratic Party members believed that Biden should withdraw “for the good of the party.” The latest polls also showed that it would be virtually impossible for Biden to win against Trump.
Kamala is also backed by the deep state
Biden has therefore announced his withdrawal from the presidential race on Sunday afternoon and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the party’s new candidate for the November elections. The problem is that Harris has even lower support than Biden and is also quite unpopular in the party or has few actual supporters. In the race for the 2020 Republican nomination, Harris dropped out very quickly, as she was not supported by more than two percent of the Democratic Party in any state. Her four years as Vice-President were largely invisible, and the few things she did undertake, such as trying to sort out the chaos at America’s southern border, failed spectacularly.
But the Democratic Party is now facing another problem. Biden was almost unanimously endorsed in the party’s state-by-state electoral processes during the nomination process. He officially won with 87 percent of support from the Democratic Party members and, according to the rules, delegates will have to support his nomination at the party’s convention in a month’s time. Unless the Democrats completely change the entire nomination process right now, which would allow them to overturn the entire nomination process so far and nominate a new candidate. This could even lead to lawsuits and court proceedings, bans and blocks on the nomination of a new candidate, and would certainly have a disastrous effect on an already divided Democratic Party.
