Biden DOUBTFUL Harris BEATS Trump
During the time that he was considering stepping down from his position, Vice President Kamala Harris was “doubting” whether or not she would be able to overcome former President Donald Trump. Axios was informed on Sunday by three Biden associates who were acquainted with recent discussions on his plans.
The worry that Biden is experiencing highlights the contrast between the lack of unity that exists within the Democratic Party and the unity that exists within the Republican Party as Thanksgiving approaches.
It is peculiar, according to Republicans, that the president endorsed Harris on his personal X account only thirty minutes after he announced that he would step down from his position.
After receiving his support, it would appear that several party officials, including the “squad,” are attempting to come together in support of Harris. Harris received support from a large number of Democratic state and federal officials, as well as from Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and former President Barack Obama are among the individuals who have not yet expressed their support for Harris. The President of the United States recognized in a statement that “we will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead. However, I am confident that the leaders of our party will be able to devise a procedure that will result in the selection of an exceptional candidate for the nominated position.”
According to Politico Playbook, the four leaders, Pelosi, Jeffries, Schumer, and Obama, have not endorsed Harris because they “do not want to be seen as back-room party bosses engineering a Harris coronation.” This is the reason why they have not signed on as Harris’s supporters.
Biden, who received around 14 million votes in the Democratic primaries, is being removed from the ticket because Democrats are concerned that this could be interpreted as an attack on democracy. Not a single primary delegate was gained by Harris in 2016.
According to FiveThirtyEight, Harris, who is currently the leading candidate to successfully acquire the nomination of the Democrats over the next four weeks, is not very well liked. His approval rating is 38.6 percent. An approval rating of 38.5 percent is assigned to Biden. The approval rating numbers for both candidates are far lower than the threshold of fifty percent that is generally required for an incumbent to win reelection.
Additional candidates for the Democratic nomination include Governor Roy Cooper of North Carolina, Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, Governor J.B. Pritzker of Illinois, and Governor Andy Beshear of Kentucky.
