Speculation has been rife in recent months regarding the potential for Joe Biden to step down as the Democratic presidential nominee, a scenario that has been repeatedly suggested by Donald Trump and his allies. Despite lacking evidence, these claims have persisted, with the notion that Biden may be replaced by another candidate before the convention gaining traction.
As Biden grapples with mounting political challenges following a lackluster debate performance, Republicans are now contemplating the implications of his potential withdrawal from the race. Some within the GOP believe that Trump's path to reelection would be smoother with Biden out of the picture.
Amidst the uncertainty surrounding Biden's future, Trump and his supporters have seized the opportunity to keep the focus on the Democratic nominee. Trump himself has opted for a low-key approach, retreating to his New Jersey club and refraining from public appearances. The campaign's decision to encourage staff to enjoy the Fourth of July holiday has raised eyebrows among some aides and advisers.
One individual close to Trump remarked, 'Chaos is our friend,' reflecting the campaign's strategy of capitalizing on the turmoil surrounding Biden. Campaign insiders have been reaching out to journalists and sympathetic Democrats in an effort to glean insights into the potential ramifications of Biden stepping down.
While the Trump campaign has largely overlooked Vice President Kamala Harris in its attacks on the Biden administration, there are indications that this stance may be shifting. A super PAC aligned with Trump, MAGA, Inc., recently launched a critique of Harris, questioning her oversight of Biden's border policies. The email from the super PAC provocatively asked, 'Is Harris the Best They Got?'
