US President Joe Biden‘s reelection campaign faced new challenges following reports that senior democratic leaders privately urged him to withdraw his candidacy. These leaders expressed concerns that Biden’s continued candidacy could result in losing the White House and jeopardize the party’s chances of regaining control of the House of Representatives in the upcoming November election.Meanwhile, Donald Trump, the former president, is poised to accept the Republican presidential nomination on Thursday.
Despite public calls from 20 congressional Democrats to withdraw following his lackluster performance in the June 27 debate against Donald Trump, the 81-year-old Biden has thus far refused to consider stepping aside. His challenges were further compounded when he tested positive for Covid-19 during a campaign trip to Nevada, necessitating his return to Delaware to work in isolation.
Senator John Hickenlooper, while declining to directly address whether Biden should withdraw, stated in an interview that “Joe Biden has always put the country first. He’s done what’s best for America… I think he’ll keep doing so.”
As Biden grapples with these challenges, Donald Trump, 78, is set to deliver his acceptance speech at the conclusion of the four-day Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. This will be his first public address since surviving an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania on Saturday, where a bullet grazed his ear.
According to campaign staffers, the experience has prompted Trump to revise his acceptance speech, shifting the focus from attacking Biden’s Democrats to emphasising inclusiveness.
Lara Trump, Trump’s daughter-in-law and Republican National Committee co-chair, suggested that viewers “may see a bit of a different version of Trump tonight, perhaps a softer version,” attributing this change to the near-death experience he encountered on Saturday.
