Following the debate on Thursday, in which Republican opponent and current President Joe Biden, Donald Trump, presented difficulties, a number of Democrats begged Biden to withdraw from the presidential contest so that the party might choose another candidate to run in his stead.
Prior to the CNN-hosted debate, surveys indicated that Biden and Trump were in a close battle.
The strategist acknowledged that they personally admire Biden’s achievements in handling foreign conflicts, making important appointments, enacting domestic policies, and defeating Trump in 2020, but they also think it’s imperative that Biden step down and give way to another candidate.
“I am for the first time beginning to think calling for Biden to step aside isn’t heretical; it’s the only responsible thing to do.
“If we lose this election to Trump because we were too afraid to admit we were wrong about his age or too worried of an open convention, we can no longer call our party the defenders of democracy”, the strategist commented.
” There is a sense of shock at how he came out at the beginning of this debate. How his voice sounded. He seemed a little disoriented. There are going to be discussions about whether he should continue,” David Axelrod, a top adviser to former President Barack Obama, said on CNN.
“Only he can decide if he’s going to continue”, he added.
Axelrod predicted that Biden would not likely get out of the campaign because of his high sense of self-worth and confidence.
