Al Bilad newspaper What if Biden withdraws from the race? – 2024-06-30 19:38:11

Joe Biden’s slumping debate performance immediately raised new questions from Democrats worried about whether he will leave the presidential race.
Many Democrats after the debate were deeply concerned about President Joe Biden’s poor performance and readiness to continue in the election race, with some calling for a replacement.
The 90-minute show revealed a declining performance by President Joe Biden against his opponent, Donald Trump, and left Democrats confused, wondering how ready their candidate is to continue the presidential race.
According to a CNN report, this will not be an easy process, because Biden is already the presumptive nominee of the Democrats and the overwhelming choice of primary voters.
Withdrawal option
Biden’s withdrawal has become a strong topic among Democrats, to the point that names of candidates to succeed him have begun to emerge.
Biden has faced little opposition in the primary season, and the fact that he won almost all of the party’s delegates means he is unlikely to be forced out of the race against his will.
If the major candidate drops out of the campaign after most of the primaries or even during the convention, individual delegates would need to choose the party’s nominee on the convention floor or perhaps during virtual voting, which would highlight the often-specialized question of who those actual delegates are.
The Democratic Party has set a June 22 deadline for states to choose more than 3,900 delegates – almost all of whom are currently pledged to Biden – allocated as part of the primary process. These delegates have not only pledged to vote for Biden; It was also approved by his campaign.
While a majority of convention delegates may decide to choose a new nominee, doing so would require widespread defections from supporters of the president himself, and it also means that if Biden drops out of the race, Biden’s supporters will largely be responsible for choosing his replacement.
Amid their frustration with the performance of their candidate, President Joe Biden, in the first debate, Democrats called for his replacement. Who are the potential replacements if the master of the White House decides to step down from the electoral race?
Technically, Vice President Kamala Harris is the best fit, as this is her constitutional role in a state of emergency, but polls have ranked her as the least popular vice president in 30 years in the country.
There are circles in the Democratic Party pushing for the nomination of California Governor Gavin Newsom as an alternative to Biden, and the entrepreneur, who is famous for trading, enjoys the support of major Democratic donors on the list of alternatives.
Also prominent is Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who has won many tough political battles, and Whitmer is calling for expanding health care.
The name of Pennsylvania Governor Joshon Shapiro, who is considered a centrist member of the Democratic Party and one of the most active participants in the Biden campaign, is also mentioned.
As for Senator Raphael Warnock, he is also a potential alternative to Biden. He serves as a senator from Georgia, and is the first African-American senator to represent this state.
Former First Lady Michelle Obama never announced her desire to run for the presidency, but Democratic leaders are seeking to nominate her as an alternative to Biden before the party convention next August.
Former Secretary of State and former First Lady Hillary Clinton appeared on the list of potential alternatives, and she lost to Trump in the 2016 elections, but her political acumen makes her a strong candidate.
It is also possible that the Democrats will choose J.B. Pritzker as an alternative to Biden in the event of his political resignation. He will occupy the position of Governor of the State of Illinois, and he is considered the second richest politician to hold office in the country after former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
The name of millionaire Dean Phillips, a member of Congress from the state of Minnesota, is also mentioned. Phillips focuses his work in Congress on restoring Americans’ confidence in the government.
