After President Joe Biden’s meandering and occasionally incoherent first-debate performance, some House Democrats are voicing concerns about his age and mental sharpness.
Here’s what you need to know:
The “Dam Is Breaking”: Newer House Democrats, particularly those representing swing districts, have warned that supporting Biden risks their reputations. Some are even “resigned to the inevitability” that there needs to be someone new. Vice President Kamala Harris has emerged as a potential replacement candidate1.
Biden’s Response: Despite the chatter, President Biden remains steadfast. His campaign team is working to quell any Democratic revolt. In a recent ad, Biden sought to shift the conversation back to his opponent, former President Donald Trump2.
Line of Succession: While names like Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and California Gov. Gavin Newsom have been floated, Biden’s choice of Harris as next in line complicates any potential replacement scenario3.
In the end, making a change would be far from easy, but the whispers persist. The 2024 election landscape remains dynamic, and Democrats are closely watching how this unfolds.
