Biden’s surprising withdrawal leaves Democrats in disarray ahead of 2024 election

International media have reported that following President Joe Biden’s surprising withdrawal from the 2024 U.S. presidential campaign, senior Democratic Party members, including Kamala Harris, are in shock over this decision.

According to Axios, even Biden’s advisers were unaware of his decision to withdraw from the election race. This lack of coordination, especially on the brink of the 2024 election, has placed senior Democratic members in a critical and precarious position.

The party must nominate a new candidate for the 2024 U.S. elections within the next few days—a candidate who has a viable chance against Donald Trump, the Republican nominee.

Joe Biden, who faced widespread criticism for his poor performance in the election campaign and debates with Trump, announced his withdrawal from the race yesterday.

This move, described by international media as “surprising” and “unexpected,” has created a sense of uncertainty among Democratic members of Congress, many of whom are unsure of the next steps.

Axios reports that not all Democratic members of Congress are in favor of Kamala Harris as the party’s candidate. The Wall Street Journal also notes that Harris has been making calls to congressional members to secure support since Biden’s announcement.

Previous polls suggest that Michelle Obama, the former First Lady, maybe a more favorable candidate for the upcoming election.

The unexpected departure of Biden has left the Democratic Party scrambling to find a strong candidate capable of challenging Trump in the upcoming election, highlighting the urgent need for strategic decisions and party unity in the face of an uncertain political landscape.
