The debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden continues to generate various reactions. Now it was the turn of Time magazine, which Through a categorical image, he pointed out that there is “panic” within the Democratic Party of the president of the United States (USA) after his fragile participation in the dispute with the magnate.
“Things are dark” and “Democrats are panicking over Joe Biden’s performance in the debate and what will happen next”says the description of a publication of the renowned American magazine.
Not only did the North American media describe the presidential debate between Trump and Biden as lackluster, but the The latter’s hesitant and stammering behavior left serious doubts among the Democratic members themselves, even those closest to the president..
With slurred speech and a raspy voice, Biden, 81, did not perform well and raised concerns about his age, his former communications director, Kate Bedingfield, told CNN immediately after the debate. “There is no doubt that it was not a good debate for Joe Biden”He launched.
“Panic is not a strong enough word to describe the feeling that swept through the Democratic Party – for Biden – from top to bottom as the debate unfolded.”Time said.
“Almost immediately after it ended, Democrats began to wonder if and how Biden could be convinced to withdraw, for the good of the party, the nation, and the candidate himself,” the aforementioned outlet adds.
In that sense, they maintain that the vice president Kamala Harris “did her best to prevent party activists’ dreams of getting rid of Biden”and perhaps Harris herself as well.”
In an interview with CNN, the official also acknowledged that the president had a “weak start,” but assured that he had a “strong finish. Biden is extraordinarily strong.”
The attitude presented by the president of the United States, along with his “confusing” speech, was used by Trump – 78 years old – to mock him. “I have no idea what he said” and “I don’t think he even knows what he is saying,” said the magnate.
The possibility of Democrats replacing Biden
It may not be too late for Democrats to consider another candidate to take their place on the ballot. According to a report by The Washington Post, it would be a simple matter for delegates to the Democratic National Convention to vote for another candidate in August when they meet in Chicago.
However, for this it is also essential that Biden, on his own initiative, decides to withdraw from the competition, leaving the way clear for someone else.
Another obstacle that arises is that the current US president has already won – along with Trump in his respective party – in the primaries held in March.
However, Vice President Kamala Harris is among the front-runners to eventually replace Biden. However, delegates are not required to vote for her to take up a spot on the ballot.
On the other hand, Gavin Newsom, the Democratic governor of California, would also be considered another possible candidate.
He The next presidential debate between Biden and Trump will be on September 10, on ABC. However, for experts, although it was previously an opportunity for the current head of the White House, it now becomes a problem and raises doubts for the Democratic Party.
