Following an abysmal debate performance against Donald Trump, Democrats are scrambling to replace President Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential race. There’s just one hiccup: Biden himself doesn’t intend to step aside. So what are the options?Per the Democratic National Committee’s rules, Biden cannot be stripped from the ticket by party leaders. But the convention can throw an open nominating process on the convention floor, opening the door for other candidates to take the front seat, reported Politico. That would necessitate a complicated gambit for power among the party’s 4,000 delegates, many of whom hold loyalties to the Biden administration...

Here’s How Democrats Could Replace Joe Biden Before November

Salon

President Joe Biden and his campaign, struggling to contain the fallout over his disastrous debate performance, have been nailing down Democratic support on Capitol Hill despite calls for him to step aside for a more viable nominee. But those efforts have done little to slow his tumbling poll numbers, which on Tuesday prompted the nonpartisan Cook Political Report to move three swing states — Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada — into the "Lean Republican" column.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, has officially put his foot down against Biden’s naysayers in a New York Times op-ed published Saturday. Sanders said he has had “enough” of his party’s public infighting over Biden’s viability, and that “too many Democrats have joined that circular firing squad.” Sanders urged his fellow Democrats to “learn a lesson from the progressive and centrist forces in France who, despite profound political differences, came together this week to soundly defeat right-wing extremism.” Sanders writes that there are a number of areas in which he disagrees with President Biden, including the handling of the Israel-Gaza war and health care. But despite their disagreements, Sanders writes, Biden “has been the most effective president in the modern history of our country and is the strongest candidate to defeat Donald Trump.” And, yes, Sanders wrote, “Mr. Biden is old, is prone to gaffes, walks stiffly and had a disastrous debate with Mr. Trump.” Yet, he added, “A presidential election is not an entertainment contest. It does not begin or end with a 90-minute debate.”Read it at New York TimesRead more at The Daily Beast.

With an assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, the U.S. experienced another violent episode in its increasingly polarized politics. Former President Trump, who’s about to formally become the GOP nominee for president in the 2024 election, survived the attempted assassination when, initial reports said, a bullet grazed his ear . But one rally attendee was killed , more spectators were injured and the suspected gunman is also dead. The Conversation’s politics editor, Naomi Schalit, spoke with University of Massachusetts, Lowell, scholar Arie Perliger after the event. Perliger offered insight from his study of political violence and assassinations. Given the stark political polarization in the U.S., Perliger said, “it’s not a surprise that eventually people engage in violence.”

It was far from a perfect performance, but President Joe Biden used his Thursday evening press conference as a preview of the arguments he will deploy in the coming days, weeks, and months, as fellow Democrats’ calls for him to step aside persist—and as his refusal to do so is likely to harden.“I’m determined I’m running,” Biden said during a question-and-answer session with reporters that lasted for nearly an hour. “But I think it’s important that I allay fears, let them see me out there.” If he failed to do so entirely, he also displayed an obvious command of foreign...
