The torch is not transmitted

Joe Biden remains in the presidential race, despite the lost debate and calls to leave. The Democratic Party supports him - but is looking for an alternative

The Joe Biden family called him to stay in the presidential race after an unsuccessful performance on the debate, American media said with reference to sources. According to surveys, the current US president lost to Donald Trump and drove his campaign in a crisis. Biden publicly supported prominent democrats - from Barack Obama to Hillary Clinton - however, in the party, not everyone agreed with the president’s desire to continue the struggle.

Why do the first television devices call a failure for Bayden, why are calls sound to curtail the campaign, what exits from the crisis can find the Democratic Party and who can offer to replace? Novyevropa is dealing with the Americanist Alexandra Filippenko.

The consequences of failure debate: why Biden is offered to leave

On the debate, Biden looked much weaker than Trump, who, in turn, performed confidently and assertively, said Politico analysts. The Americanist Alexander Filippenko also agrees with them: in a conversation with Novo-Europe, she stated that the first debates really turned out to be failure for Biden: he stuck, confused names and names, jumped from one topic to another and often could not clearly convey his position-as a result, 67% of the audience awarded Trump's victory.

Biden could not defend the position of an important topic of abortion to the topic of abortion clearly and convincingly, added Filippenko.

- The issue of reproductive rights and abortions can radically change the situation, since there are many those who believe that abortions should be resolved among the Republicans. This is a big question for American voters, in particular hesitating.

And Biden, instead of a clear and consistent answer, switched to another topic and began to talk about immigration policies, ”she notes.

After the debate, Biden met with his family in the Camp David. According to CNN and AP sources, relatives called him to stay in the race. As the TV channel found out, Biden's family assigned to the President’s team and discussed whether one of the main advisers should be dismissed or personnel changes to the election headquarters. Biden himself, however, does not like to dismiss his assistants and so far does not think about serious personnel changes, noted the publication.

Biden's family discussed how to help the president and did not urge him to revise his candidacy, one of the advisers said. However, the position may change if the Biden rating falls (now, according to Reuters and CNN polls, it supports a little less than 40% of voters, does not support - more than 55%), then the exit from the race will avoid falling the Democrats in the elections, CNN said.

The opinion of Biden's family will be crucial in the definition of his political future - even to a greater extent than the opinion of the internal circle of the main advisers of the president, who are now “under close attention,” says CNN.

Can Bayden force Biden to leave the race?

Despite the fact that Biden really lost the passed debate, no one can force him to leave the presidential race: the candidate nomination is not regulated by federal law, Filippenko notes in a conversation with Novo-Europe. He can only leave if he does it voluntarily. The Democratia cannot force the candidate’s race, for whom the Americans voted in the primaries, our interlocutor pays attention to.

Nevertheless, the editorial council of The New York Times has already called to leave the Biden race. Nyt observer Thomas Friedman - one of the few media representatives with whom Biden regularly communicates - wrote that the debate forced him to “cry” and said that the president should leave the race. According to the editorial office, this is the best chance for the Democrats to defeat Trump and "protect the soul of the nation."

The head of the Poland Foreign Ministry, Radoslav Sikorsky, commenting on Biden's failure, said that "it is important to be able to manage his own way into sunset." According to the media, Biden’s change, according to the media, calls for conservative British ministers , as well as anonymous European and Arab diplomats .

What will happen if Biden decides to get out of the race?

Bayden has already announced his readiness to stay in the election race, but at the same time expressed concern about the consequences of the debate. If he nevertheless decides to refuse to participate in the elections, the Democrats will have to appoint new primaries, which can turn into an even greater problem. The primaries is a complex procedure that is regulated by the legislation of each individual state, and the Republican Party will use each legal loophole in order not to allow another democratic candidate in the ballot, Filippenko says.

- It can go out for the democrats more expensive. It must also be taken into account that before the second round of the debate, until September 10, both Biden and Trump will have time to correct his rating. There is justice in what Joe Biden Jill's wife said :

Televalia is only 90 minutes, and it is impossible to judge by the results of four years in the White House. This is an important evening, but only one of many during the election campaign, which has been going on for about a year,

-notes the interlocutor of "New-Europe".

Biden himself visited five states with public and private performances within three days after the debate. Among other things, he commented on the results of the discussion with Trump.

“I know that I'm not young. That I no longer go as easy as before. I'm not talking as smoothly as before. I do not lead the debate as good as before. But I know how to tell the truth. I know what is right and what is wrong. I know how to do this work, ”Biden said to voters in North Carolin.

What is the US Democratic Party inclined?

The Democratic Party asked the questions: can Bayden weaken the entire list of candidates, especially in critical races for places in the House of Representatives and the Senate, and if not he is on the top of the list, then who?

“The true plan of continuity does not exist, which does all this not just heartbreaking, but also very problematic,” said CNN senior adviser to the democrats in Biden's campaign.

The campaign of the representative of the Democratic Party was in crisis: some support the current president, others publicly express their concern about Biden's age and abilities, the rest - defiantly keep silence, waiting for the surveys before expressing their opinion.

The most prominent members of the Democratic Party supported the publicly acting President: the Governor of California Gavin News , and the ex-president of the United States Barack Obama , and the US presidential candidate in the 2016 elections, Hillary Clinton ( in that presidential campaign, she gathered the majority of the electorate of the electorate, but as a result, she lost to Trump on the number of votes of electorals. - Approx. Ed. ): They are clearly They expressed their position, saying that the choice is between a person who thinks only of himself, and a person who thinks about the Americans.

In addition, Biden was supported by other prominent party figures, including the former speaker of the House of Representatives of Nancy Pelosi, Senator Rafael Warnok and Governor Maryland Wes Moore.

Nevertheless, the former Senator-Democrat from Aiova Tom Harkin called the debate “Katastrophe, from which Biden could not recover,” and called on the democrats to jointly call the current president to leave the race.

“He [Biden] has a great legacy, and now it's time to pass the torch,” he said.

Former Deputy Chairman of the National Committee of the Democratic Party Raymond Thomas Rybak Jr. said that the public should put pressure on the leaders of the Democratic Party so that they would exclude Biden from the list of candidates.

It is possible that now the Democratic Party concentrates its attention and strength in the elections to Congress in order to subsequently balance Trump, which may return to the White House, with the help of the democratic chamber of representatives and the Senate, added Filippenko.

If not baiden, then who?

The Washington Post has listed 10 names that could become a replacement of Biden. In the first place is the US Vice President Kamal Harris . However, according to the newspaper, it is highly dependent on Biden's rating and "as much as he is unpopular."

According to Filippenko, the main candidate for replacing Biden - US Transport Minister Pit Buttijich is a person of the US infrastructure law ( the Law on the largest US investments in the infrastructure in the infrastructure, which involves investing $ 1 trillion in the repair of outdated roads and bridges and other projects. - approx. Ed. ), And it was from the very beginning of Bayden’s presidency that Biden traveled throughout Bayden throughout Bayden throughout the territory Countries, sinking hands, cut ribbons, opened new airports, roads and railway stations. In addition, he was the mayor of the South Bend, the Republican City in Indiana, and learned to find a common language with the Republicans, she added.

Other main candidates are the Governor of California Gavin News, Governor of Michigan Gretchen Whitmer and Governor of Pennsylvania Josh Shapiro .

And what about Trump at this time?

Biden's election headquarters raised more than $ 33 million from the moment of his debate with Trump, despite the negative reaction about his speech. Thursday June 27 - Debatov Day - was "the best day

Mass training of funds in the entire history of [campaign], Friday became the second best day ” - during which time $ 27 million was raised, and reported in the team of the candidate from the Democratic. Trump on the day of the debate managed to raise only eight million dollars.

Biden’s main rival, despite the fact that he leads in recent polls, is not very pleased with the development of the situation, because he is accustomed to a high level of attention and he does not like that in all the media are discussing primarily the failure of the current president, Filippenko notes.

- During the debate and after them it was clear how Trump was pleased with what was happening and that he feels his victory. However, now, after a few days, it seems less joyful due to the fact that they say little about him, ”said the interlocutor of Novo-Europe.
