With the US presidential elections scheduled for November this year approaching, it seems that the Democrats are in a critical position in light of the increasing talk about the suitability of current President Joe Biden for this position.
According to Politico, the Democrats are avoiding discussing any alternative plans related to choosing a candidate to run in the elections as an alternative to Biden.
The matter was made worse by the report prepared by Special Counsel Robert Hoare, in which he described Biden as “a good, elderly person with little potential and a weak memory,” which made it necessary to put the issue of the president’s age and mental competency under discussion, with there being a trend that believes that Biden’s age does not allow He has the right to assume new positions, and the current president’s lag behind Donald Trump in opinion polls has caused a state of skepticism about Biden’s ability to lead the party during the presidential elections scheduled for next November and win a new presidential term.
Biden’s description by Special Counsel Robert Hoare, who is investigating the US President’s documents, prompted debate about his political fate.
The Democratic National Convention scheduled for next August may witness the introduction of an alternative to compete for the position of president in elections that may be historic.
hard mission
The Politico website explained that the Democratic Party’s introduction of an alternative candidate to Biden and the development of an alternative strategy is difficult to achieve at the present time unless the president himself abandons the competition, or confirms that he is unable to run in the elections from a health standpoint.
As for who is competing with Biden for the Democratic Party nomination, it seems that Minnesota Representative Dean Phillips will work to win the party’s nomination for president. He has been one of the most vocal critics of Biden’s attempt to re-elect him, pointing out on several occasions the desire for a younger leader to replace the president who completes his term. Next November, he was eighty-second, which brought him criticism within the party because of his focus on this sensitive issue.
According to Politico, it is not expected that Super Tuesday, the fifth of next March, will witness the victory of the Democratic Party nomination by anyone other than Biden.
The term Super Tuesday means the first Tuesday of March, which witnesses the holding of elections for the Democratic Party candidate in 14 states, which has a major impact on the chances of the Democratic Party nominating whoever receives the largest amount of votes on this day.
This is how Biden could refrain from running for president
With this situation, there is only one solution, which is Biden himself agreeing to step down, but that is not consistent with the nature of the man who is very proud of himself, especially in light of his many experiences that witnessed him winning a seat in the Senate when he was in his twenties and assuming the position of president.
The way out of this situation seems to be to leave Biden to continue his path and win the primary elections within the Democratic Party that end next June 4, when he is expected to obtain more than 1,965 delegate votes, which is a sufficient number for his candidacy, and then Biden announces his waiver of the candidacy. He left the delegates free to choose a replacement for him, expressing his understanding of the people’s concerns about an 86-year-old person taking over the reins of government in the country, and talking about him being their policy in building a future generation of democratic leaders, and confirming that he put the economy on the right path and his victory over Trump earlier and his protection of democracy to what extent. Makes him perform his duty perfectly.
After that, the stampede of those wishing to succeed Biden begins, and opinion polls can determine for the Democratic Party the person who can be approved to confront and defeat Trump, as this process takes place between June 4 and August 19.
Choosing an alternative to Biden will reduce Vice President Kamla Harris’ chances of winning the Democratic nomination, especially with her poor performance in the 2020 elections. However, the dilemma lies in the reluctance of black voters to run in the elections.
The Democratic convention will be dramatic
Politco believes that the Democrats’ conference, which is usually characterized by sobriety, will be full of drama because each party faction will try to direct the situation in its favor, especially with the diminishing chances of the party choosing new candidates for the presidential elections until 2032, that is, after the end of the two presidential terms of the alternative president.
What if Biden wins the Democratic nomination and fails to run?
The site asked what would happen if Biden won the Democratic nomination but was unable to run in the elections scheduled for next November.
Here the rules state that in the event of a nominee’s death, resignation or incapacity, Jaime Harrison, the party’s chairman, must consult with the Democratic leadership of Congress and the Democratic Governors Association and report to the approximately 450 members of the Democratic National Committee, who in turn will choose a new nominee.
Biden’s late exit from the race would be a nightmare. Overseas voting is scheduled to take place in some places just two weeks after the nominating convention ends on August 19, and early in-person voting will begin on September 20 in Minnesota and South Dakota, in which case if candidates vote for Biden then If the man steps down, the matter will end up being resorted to the judiciary, because Biden’s name will be on the ballot while the man is not running in the elections in the first place.
Republicans’ dilemma with Trump
Although the spotlight is on Biden at the moment, Republicans face similar thorny questions. The would-be nominee, Trump, is 77 years old and prone to verbal gaffes and important posturing – and faces a myriad of legal cases that raise questions about the viability of his candidacy. But on the one hand, Trump’s chance of winning the Republican Party’s nomination may be stronger than Biden’s on the Democratic side, as the Republican delegates are committed to their candidate on the first ballot, which makes it difficult for Trump to be denied the chance to run in the elections, even if he is convicted of a single crime before the start of the election procedures.
What both positions reveal is that in an era of weak national parties, there are few individuals with standing to intervene and protect the best interests of the party — or perhaps the nation, and as long as Biden and Trump move forward, there is no real mechanism to derail them.
