US Presidential Election 2024: During his most recent NAACP speech, while growing calls for Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 US Presidential election, the President praised Kamala Harris and declared that “she could be the President of the United States”.
“She’s not only a great vice president, she could be president of the United States,” stated Joe Biden, praising Vice President Harris.
After Joe Biden’s first debate with Republican opponent Donald Trump caused fear among Democrats, much speculation existed about his replacement. 81-year-old Joe Biden has been captured making mistakes, raising questions about his “mental health.” But President Biden has rejected multiple calls for resignation from inside his party, reaffirming his belief that he is the most qualified Democrat to unseat Trump. Using President Harry S. Truman’s well-known adage, “If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog,” the president alluded to discontent within his party in a roundabout way on Tuesday.
On the other hand, since barely avoiding an assassination attempt during a recent campaign rally, Trump has galvanized his followers and increased his prospects of winning the next, hotly contested race in November incumbent President Joe Biden. With Chinese President Xi Jinping claiming that Taiwan will be regained someday, even if it means using force, both candidates are attempting to project an image of strength toward China.
Who else might be a viable option to succeed Biden?
In addition to Kamala Harris, who is of Indian descent, other candidates vying to succeed Joe Biden include Californian Gavin Newsom, Michigan’s Gretchen Whitmer, and Pennsylvania’s Josh Shapiro. According to sources who spoke with Reuters, Kamala Harris is the front-runner and may not be overcome by the other likely contenders.
