US President Joe Biden faced pressure from his own party to withdraw his candidacy following his performance in the debate with Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump on June 27. The call to Biden to “withdraw his candidacy”, which was directed to him via the American left -liberal media in July was further strengthened with the participation of important figures within the Democratic Party.
Pressures from Within the Democratic Party
It was reported in the media that prominent figures from the Democratic Party, such as Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, were pressuring Biden to withdraw his candidacy out of concern that he would not be able to defeat his Republican opponent Donald Trump. It was reported that Schumer and Pelosi called on Biden to withdraw his candidacy and stated that this step was important for the party’s interests.
Contribution of Other Prominent Names
In addition, media reports have reported that House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries has similarly pressured Biden, warning that his withdrawal from the race could affect the Democratic Party’s performance in the election. As a result of this pressure, Biden may decide to withdraw from his candidacy in the coming days.
Voters’ Opinion
It has been noted that some parliamentarians within the Democratic Party have stated that two-thirds of voters want a new candidate and that there is enough time for change. Polls have shown that a large portion of voters will support Biden’s vice president, Kamala Harris, if he drops out of the race.
Biden’s Statements
US President Joe Biden hinted that he could withdraw from the election race if a medical condition arises when asked about his health. He also announced that he had contracted Covid-19 and entered quarantine. Uncertainties about Biden’s health and fate in the election race continue.
