Democrats’ poll plan for withdrawal from candidacy
Although there is no real piano for a possible successor, the Democrats are pushing for him to withdraw from the presidential candidacy in November, perhaps following surveys particularly negative.
As reported Adnkronoswhich cites the Cnna figure linked to the Biden campaign says that the Potus could consider stepping back only if the data showed dangers for the votes in the House and Senate.
Democrats commissioned polls over the weekend, with results due next week. “The party is in the hands of President Biden, who deserves our respect for whatever he decides,” the source said.
Biden’s Replacement Unlikely
As far as it is technically possible a replacement running for Biden, in case he does not decide to withdraw himself a replacement would be highly unlikely.
On the way to the official nomination, Biden accumulated a total of 3,894 delegates for the August 7 convention, out of a total of 3,934.
The officially nominated candidate is the one who will receive the votes of the majority absolute, or at least 1,968, which Biden would almost certainly get.
Even if he decided to retreatdelegates would be free to vote for other candidates and wide divisions would open up reflecting fractures within the party, among which major consultations would begin.
Possible albeit unlikely alternative candidates they are primarily Vice President Kamala Harris, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, California Governor Gavin Newsom, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, as well as Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg , Senator Amy Klobucha and Senator Cory Booker.
The day after the debate, Friday 18 June, theeditorial board of the New York Times had written a editorial in which he asked Biden to withdraw from the race for the White House.
