Can the Democrats replace Biden?
Manage episode 428193942 series 2125977
Since the CNN Presidential Debate in June 2024 headlines in the US calling for Joe Biden to pull out of the race have been relentless. There have been questions about his age, performance, and ability to run for a second term in the White House.
Biden’s ratings have slipped, and donors and party members have publicly said that Biden should step aside.
Joe Biden maintains he will not go and that he is the best person to beat would-be president Donald Trump.
He does still have staunch supporters and he was democratically elected as presumptive nominee by the electorate.
But with weeks to go before the Democratic National Committee meets to make Biden the official candidate, how easy would it be to find a replacement?
This week on The Inquiry we’re asking, can the Democrats replace Biden?
