Democrats Quietly Debate: Is Harris the Key to Defeating Trump?

Yonhap News

Democrats have reportedly been pushing to replace President Joe Biden with Vice President Kamala Harris to run in the November presidential election, according to reports by local media.

On Thursday, NBC News reported that Biden’s election camp has been considering having Harris represent the party in a head-to-head race against Trump.

Even Biden’s campaign officials feel the need for Biden to step out of the race, as they deem it challenging to continue the campaign under the current circumstances.

However, Biden’s campaign spokesperson, TJ Ducklo, denied reports of a candidate replacement, stating that the campaign still supports Biden.

Despite the growing possibility of a Republican victory and the widening gap between Biden and Trump in polls, Biden has reiterated his will to overcome his latest poor debate performance and continue the presidential race.

The White House officials have maintained that Biden is the best candidate to defeat Trump in the November election.

Meanwhile, other media outlets doubt Harris’s ability to attract votes from moderate voters in swing states that determine the election outcome.
