Talks about withdrawing Biden's candidacy from the election will only distract his team from the fight with its competitor.
Biden “is not coming out” from the fight for the US presidency in the 2024 elections, a representative of the Democratic campaign headquarters said after the disastrous debate with Donald Trump on Thursday, June 27. But the “uncertain” performance of Democratic candidate Joe Biden has raised doubts among some party members and talk about the possible need to replace him.
The Hill writes about this.
“Of course he won't drop out of the race,” Biden campaign spokesman Seth Shuster said.
The President himself, during a stop at a Waffle House after the debate, dismissed talk of whether he should quit.
“No. It's hard to argue with a liar. The New York Times noted that he lied 26 times,” he said of his rival, former President and Republican nominee Donald Trump.
Biden's performance at Thursday night's debate with Trump was sharply criticized by Democrats. Several noted that the president's voice was often hoarse, which the White House later attributed to a cold, and he sometimes lost his train of thought or had difficulty expressing opinions clearly.
“This chatter is very distracting and will consume the campaign greatly. Should he be replaced? They will answer this question instead of fighting Trump,” Biden's former press secretary said Jen Psaki.
Recall that the US presidential candidates shook the world with loud statements. Trump was named the winner of the debate by 67% of viewers, Biden – 33%.
