President Joe Biden, currently recovering from Covid at his Delaware beach house, received some good news with the support of Hillary and Bill Clinton. However, this support is private, highlighting how isolated Biden has become within his own party. Some Democrats are suggesting that Biden should step back from his re-election bid, with speculation about Vice President Kamala Harris potentially replacing him on the ticket. Reports indicate that some Democratic lawmakers are pressuring Biden to step aside, with concerns about his ability to beat Donald Trump in November. Others are considering an open nominating convention to select a replacement candidate if Biden withdraws. Biden’s shrinking circle of loyalists believe he has made the decision to stay in the race and are urging the party to focus on uniting against the possibility of another Trump presidency. The Clintons have actively encouraged donors to support Biden and offered their assistance. Some Democrats are looking towards a potential replacement scenario, with Harris being the favored option. However, there are discussions about a more open process, such as a “blitz primary,” to select a nominee for the November election. Overall, there is growing pressure on Biden to consider stepping aside, with mixed opinions within the Democratic party about the best course of action moving forward.
