As the dust settles from the latest debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, tensions are rising within the Democratic Party. Three key strategists close to potential presidential candidates have revealed that they received a flood of texts urging for Biden to step down and make way for new contenders.
An unnamed Democratic donor and strong supporter of Biden even went so far as to call for his withdrawal, citing the debate as “the worst performance in history.” With major donors expressing their displeasure and frustration, the pressure for Biden to bow out is mounting.
While some presidential hopefuls, like J.B. Pritzker and Gavin Newsom, continue to stand behind Biden, party insiders are scrambling to find a solution. Calls for a brokered convention, a new nominee, or even Vice President Kamala Harris to take the lead are becoming increasingly loud.
Despite the fallout from the debate, Biden’s campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon remains optimistic, highlighting the positive vision he presented for America’s future. However, concerns over Biden’s age, health, and performance are driving a sense of urgency within the party.
As Democratic consultant Stephanie Cutter emphasizes the need to stay focused and avoid knee-jerk reactions, the question of Biden’s future in the race looms large. With advisors and supporters divided over his ability to continue, the path forward for the Democratic Party is uncertain.
As the party grapples with the fallout from the debate, one thing is clear: change is on the horizon. Whether that means a new nominee, a brokered convention, or Vice President Harris stepping into the spotlight remains to be seen. The only certainty is that Democrats are in panic mode, struggling to navigate the road ahead as the 2028 election looms large.
