How nervous are Democrats concerning the 2024 election? So involved, one columnist has puzzled aloud whether or not they would have been higher off sticking with mentally challenged President Joe Biden as their candidate.
Many individuals predicted that someday a column like this may be written, however nobody anticipated it to be this quickly.
It was a sobering preview of the utter chaos and infighting that may ensue amongst Democrats if Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris within the election that increasingly folks have come to count on.
Harlan Ullman wrote in The Hill:
What if Joe Biden had been the higher candidate?
With simply over two weeks till the November 5 election, this is an attention-grabbing thought experiment.
By most accounts, the election stays a detailed horse race. But whereas Vice President Kamala Harris shortly took over the presidential mantle from Joe Biden and constructed a powerful startup, October hasn’t been notably sort to her . Donald Trump has closed the electoral hole and a few consider he’s really within the lead.
Regardless of who wins, we now have to ask: Would President Biden be the higher candidate and selection, regardless of his age and age of 81? Moreover, let’s assume that the disastrous June 27 debate with Trump didn’t occur, or that Biden was firing on all cylinders that evening. Will Biden be pressured to withdraw? Whether or not Harris loses or wins, some will ask whether or not Biden remains to be the higher candidate.
