After the Joe Biden’s Debate Disaster, there is growing concern among Democrats about his ability to beat Donald Trump in November. Kamala Harris, the vice president who has struggled to win favor with establishment and voters, is now being considered as a potential candidate to challenge Trump. Recent polls suggest that Harris could narrow the gap between Trump and Biden, with many Democratic voters believing that the party would have a better chance of winning with a different candidate.
Key figures in the party, such as James Clyburn, have expressed support for Harris in the event that Biden withdraws. Despite facing challenges and tensions within the White House, Harris has received praise for her work as the vice president and her potential as a White House candidate. Strategists and allies believe that she would be a strong contender in an open convention if Biden were to step down.
In a survey conducted for CNN, it was found that Trump’s lead over Biden increased to 6 points after the debate, but would shrink to 2 points if Harris were to challenge Trump. This has led to discussions within the party about the possibility of Harris stepping in as the presidential candidate. While Biden’s popularity has taken a hit, Harris is seen as a potential alternative who could bring a fresh perspective and energy to the campaign. As the party navigates these discussions, Harris remains a strong contender for the presidential nomination if Biden were to step aside.
