President Biden is facing a growing divide within the Democratic Party regarding his electoral viability. Despite this challenge, Biden has been seeking counsel primarily from family members and a small circle of steadfast supporters who firmly believe in his ability to stage a political comeback. This has led to a standoff between the President and his close advisors on one side, and a significant portion of voters and Democratic officials who are concerned about the party’s electoral chances.
The recent attempted attack on Donald Trump has somewhat alleviated the pressure on Biden to step aside. However, following Biden’s lackluster debate performance, the party remains deeply split on his chances for success in the upcoming election. Adam Schiff, a California representative and Senate candidate, cautioned donors during a private meeting about the potential loss of Senate and House seats in the forthcoming elections.
Next Strategic Moves
Sources indicate that the leadership of the Democratic National Committee is working towards officially nominating Biden as the party’s candidate by the end of July to solidify his position.
Border Crossings and Political Ramifications
In June, the number of illegal border crossings at the southern border hit its lowest point since January 2021. However, it remains uncertain whether Biden will be able to leverage this decrease for political advantage.
