US Presidential Election: Joe Biden’s poor performance in the US presidential election has worried the supporters of the Democratic Party. Sources in the Democratic National Committee say that if US President Joe Biden decides not to continue his re-election campaign, then Vice President Kamala Harris is the first choice to replace him.
According to news agency Reuters, in fact, Joe Biden’s faltering debate performance against Republican rival Donald Trump last week created a wave of panic within the Democratic Party over concerns that he may not be fit enough to serve a second term. During this time, there were demands for resignation from top party aides.
