Senator Lindsey Graham, a longtime ally of Donald Trump, said on CBS's "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" that a new Democratic contender would make the race decidedly different for Trump.
President Biden is most likely to be replaced, and Kamala Harris will be very energetic - said Graham, speculating that the Vice President would take Biden's place in the race. - I hope people on our side think about that - he added.
According to Graham, Donald Trump should now focus on choosing a candidate for the US Vice President. The 77-year-old has not announced anyone yet in his campaign, but Graham noted that his top picks include South Carolina Senator Tim Scott and North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum.
It is not only Graham who has concerns about a new candidate on the Democratic side. One Republican anonymously said that a younger and potentially more popular candidate on the Democratic list would mean a "harder race" for Trump.
Joe Biden's health problems
Speculations that the re-election-seeking President has health problems intensified after the Biden - Trump debate, which took place on June 27th at 9:00 PM Eastern Time.
"The New York Times" accessed the White House visitors' logs. According to the records, Dr. Kevin Cannard, a neurologist specializing in movement disorders, who recently published an article on Parkinson's disease, visited the White House eight times over the past year. These reports were denied by the President's entourage.
In the President's circle, the number of people who believe he will not manage to lead the United States for another five years is growing. More and more people openly say that the current Vice President Kamala Harris should run for the highest office in the country.
