P. L.;
For now, he doesn’t seem to want to back down.
A growing number of Democratic politicians are calling for US President Joe Biden to withdraw from the rerun after his rather poor presidential debate with Donald Trump. Most recently, Elizabeth Warren, a Democratic senator from the state of Massachusetts, made a clear allusion to this, if not a specific statement. The politician gave to MSNBC in an interview he said the president has “a big decision to make” and that if he decides to step down, Vice President Kamala Harris will be ready.
A hvg.hu cites Also California Democratic Congressman Mark Takano, who also recently called on Biden on X to drop his re-election plans, adding that it was “time to pass the baton” to Kamala Harris. In addition, he and Warren praised Biden’s achievements so far. According to Takano, his greatest merit is “saving democracy” in 2020, but he emphasized that he can do this this year if he backs down in favor of Harris. “Joe, I love and respect you. But the stakes are too high to fail. It’s time to pass the baton to Kamala,” he said.
Previously, among others, former US President Barack Obama also spoke about Joe Biden’s chances of winning significantly reduced, and because of this, the president should consider whether he really wants to run in the November election. And former Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi bluntly stated that if Biden stays, they have no chance of winning the House of Representatives. The New York Times has recently been quite critical of Joe Biden according to otherwise, the president is angry with his predecessor in office between 2009 and 2017 – whose vice president he was – and Níncí Pelosi, especially the latter.
Despite the growing number of calls, Joe Biden seems to be holding out. At first he said that only Almighty God could make him back down, but later he made it dependent on his health. In any case, he recently announced that he is looking forward to returning to campaigning next week after recovering from the coronavirus infection.
