(2 years ago)Senior Democrat leaders ruled out on Sunday the possibility of replacing President Joe Biden in the White House race, following a poor presentation in the debate, while calling on the democratic members to focus on the consequences of winning the presidency by Republican Donald Trump. After exchanging charges several days [...]
After exchanging several-day accusations over the presentation of Beden and the outcome of the November elections, the democratic leaders staunchly rejected calls for their party to select a newer candidate to compete in the presidential race.
81-year-old President Joe Biden spent on Sunday at the presidential resort “Camp David” with family members, where his political future may have been one of the topics of the talks.
As calls continue for Biden to withdraw from the race, a poll after debate by television network CBS, shows an increase of 36% in February to 46% now of the Democrats who believe that Biden should not run for president.
Unfortunately, the truth is that Biden must withdraw from the race for the good of the country he has served so admirablely for half a century”, wrote the newspaper “Athlanta Journal-Constition” in her editorial Sunday, emphasising his retirement as necessary.
“Absolutely not”, Senator Raphael Warnok of Georgia, who is seen as one of the possible Democrats to replace Beden, said.
Poor “Debates happen”, he said on the television show “Meet the Press” of the NBC network.
The question is when did Donald Trump work for others other than himself and people like him? I'm with Joe Biden and it's our job to make sure he wins in November”.
The leader of the democratic minority in the House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries, who could become president next year if his party secures the majority in November, acknowledged President Biden's poor performance in the first debate with Republican candidate Donald Trump.
“I believe that a hurdle is nothing more than a push for a powerful return”, he said about the MSNBC network.
So the moment we're at right now is a moment of restoration and will seek our support, articulating a far-reaching message about why the democratic platform is best equipped to deal with the challenges facing the American people”.
Another high democratic figure in the House of Representatives, James Clyburn, agrees.
He must stay in this race and demonstrate it through his ability to lead the country”, he told CNN network.
The Republicans strongly criticised the Democrats ' claims that poor appearance is something that happens.
The idea that Biden had a bad night is not the point. He has had a problematic presidency and a catastrophic debate”, Said CNN to Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican from South Carolina.
But during the presidential debate, candidate Trump issued a stir of criticism, many of which, long-time repetitious lies, claims among them of a wave of crimes by immigrants, that Democrats support the killing of newborn babies and that he actually won the 2020 elections.
