Biden's health raises re‑election concerns amidst democratic pressure
Joe Biden's poor condition in recent weeks has surprised many. The 81-year-old President of the U.S. is seeking re-election, but instead of focusing on his successes, the media is more frequently reporting on his health issues. The Daily Mail reports sensational information. Former U.S. presidents may force him to withdraw from the race for another term.
Questions about President Joe Biden's condition and health are increasingly common. At a ceremony in Los Angeles, the head of state is seen suddenly freezing, looking at the crowd gathered below the stage. Former President Barack Obama rescues him from this predicament. Obama grabs Biden's hand and leads him off the stage.
The Wall Street Journal recently reported on the 81-year-old president's decline in cognitive functions. The journal cites Biden's interlocutors, who claimed that the president speaks too quietly during meetings and takes long pauses during monologues.
The White House spokesperson denies these reports and assures that Biden feels excellent. The Daily Mail emphasizes that the current President's approval ratings are decreasing, currently hovering around 37%. Voters fear that health issues may impact Joe Biden's ability to govern the U.S. As a result, there are increasing calls to replace the Democratic candidate in the November presidential elections.
Who will force Joe Biden to step down? In the background: Obama and Clinton
The Daily Mail reports that a televised debate between Biden and Trump is scheduled on CNN at the end of June Eastern Time. The current president wants to prove that he is in excellent condition. However, journalists highlight that the debate could completely undermine him.
If Biden loses, a "unified Democratic front" will be needed to dissuade him from seeking re-election. The only people who could force him to step down would be Barack Obama, Bill Clinton (former U.S. presidents), Nancy Pelosi (former Speaker of the House), and Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer - the Daily Mail writes, citing information from Democratic strategists.
A potential new candidate would have to deliver a speech at the convention in August, in the style of Barack Obama's 2004 speech, which allowed him to attract undecided voters. However, this could be a perilous move. A new candidate who fails in the November elections might never return to politics.
According to the Daily Mail, Biden may not be willing to step aside and might fight for victory until the end because "he is proud of his achievements," which are "more significant than the triumphs of other contemporary presidents."
