Joe Biden reportedly more open to calls for him to step aside as candidate
Joe Biden has reportedly become more open in recent days to hearing arguments that he should step aside as the Democratic presidential candidate after the party’s two main congressional leaders told him they doubted his ability to beat Donald Trump.
While continuing to insist he will be the party’s nominee in November, the president has reportedly started asking questions about negative polling data and whether Vice-President Kamala Harris, considered the favourite to replace him if were to withdraw, fares better.
The indications of a possible rethink come after Biden tested positive on Wednesday for Covid-19, forcing him to isolate for several days while curtailing a campaigning visit to Nevada that had been part of a drive to show his candidacy was very much alive.
It also coincides with fresh polling data showing that he now trails Trump by two points in Virginia, a state he won by 10 points in 2020.
You're overlooking reproductive rights which should be a huge deal this election and imo gives Harris a bump ya'll aren't considering.
I've seen Warren go on the fucking war path about Roe - I have not seen the same by Harris.
Harris' main job as VP is to STFU and stay in the background unless needed, and yet...
A look at the conversations Vice President Harris has been having on abortion (way back in '22)
"The first woman elected vice-president, Ms Harris has made stops in key swing states such as Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia and Arizona in recent months as she tries to rally voters on the abortion issue. " (a couple months ago)
Not to mention her platform is going to be very similar to Bidens current platform but with some improvements as you pointed out. Which means she will likely retain all of the current voting platform and then gain the people who like the platform but are voting based on age related stuff.
You can put literally anyone up there that is below the age of 65 and they should have no issue convincing moderates that their 80 year old Republican candidate has soup for brains.
