As Joe Biden vacations at Camp David, important democratic leaders showed support for President Joe Biden, and rejected the notion that he should end his political campaigns for second four-year term in white house.
As ahead of US general elections, there were calls for ending his 2024 political campaign, due to his halting and disjointed debate with ex-president Donald Trump last week. Reports Voice of America.
But the allies also acknowledged Biden’s weaknesses, that Joe Biden sometimes struggles at times to complete sentences and at one point, he mistakenly declared, that he had killed Medicare (government’s health insurance plan for old people).
As per CBS-YouGov poll, around the margin of 72-27 per cent americans believe, that Biden doesn’t have ‘mental and cognitive health to serve as president.’
Which is seven percent worse, than three weeks ago, when this question was earlier asked.
However, the democratic leaders do not think that Biden should be replaced by a younger candidate.
Talking about his removal, Georgia Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock at NBC’s ‘Meet the Press’ program said, ‘Oh, absolutely not…Bad debates happen. The question is, ‘Who has Donald Trump ever shown up for other than himself and people like himself?’ I’m with Joe Biden, and it’s our assignment to make sure that he gets over the finish line come November.’
Governor Wes Moore of Maryland also echoed the same sentiments saying that president had a bad night just like all of us, but that shouldn’t remove him from November 5 election race.
Meanwhile Republican National Committee ex-chairman Reince Priebus emphasized, that with biden staying in the race, it will serve as downside for biden himself.
At ABC’s ‘This Week’ show, he also said, ‘This is not a bad debate night…This was an incoherent, almost impossible mess’.
The Republican of South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham also said similar thing saying, ‘He’s (Biden) a decent man. He’s a failed president. He is compromised. That’s the storyline here. That’s what the world saw, a compromised president.’
So Far, Joe Biden himself doesn’t plan to withdraw himself from the race and on Friday he said, ‘I know I’m not a young man. I don’t walk as easily as I used to. I don’t speak as smoothly as I used to. I don’t debate as well as I used to, but I know what I do know: I know how to tell the truth!’
