New Delhi, India: Former President Donald Trump has stirred controversy with claims that President Joe Biden is considering quitting the presidential race following criticism of his recent debate performance. Trump made these assertions in a video on his Truth Social platform, speaking from a golf buggy.
In the clip, Trump is heard stating, “He just quit, you know – he’s quitting the race… and that means we have Kamala (Harris).” He goes on to criticize Vice President Kamala Harris, saying, “I think she’s going to be better… She’s so pathetic, she’s so f**** bad.”
Trump’s remarks come amidst speculation about Biden’s future in the race, fueled by concerns over his health and his recent debate showing against Trump. Despite Trump’s assertions, Biden, 81, has publicly stated his commitment to continuing in the race, telling supporters, “I’m not leaving. I’m in this race to the end.”
While Biden’s polling numbers have declined and there have been reports of concerns within the Democratic Party, the White House has denied claims that Biden is considering stepping down. Biden himself has attributed some of his debate performance issues to a hectic travel schedule, acknowledging that he nearly fell asleep during the televised event.
The Democratic Party is set to confirm Biden as their nominee at the upcoming convention in August, with no clear mechanism for replacing him unless he voluntarily withdraws. Potential successors like Kamala Harris, California Governor Gavin Newsom, and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer have been speculated upon, though the process remains uncertain.
For now, Biden continues to publicly demonstrate his capability, holding virtual meetings and receiving support from governors and party members, despite calls from some Democrats urging him to reconsider his candidacy.
All eyes are now on Biden’s upcoming interview with ABC News, which is expected to further gauge his ability to handle public scrutiny and reassure supporters amidst mounting speculation about his candidacy.
