Recent Updates and Reactions to Joe Biden’s Debate Performance

Democratic voters are calling for Joe Biden to step down as the party’s 2024 presidential nominee after a lackluster debate performance against Donald Trump. A new poll by USA Today/Suffolk University revealed that 41 percent of Democratic voters believe Biden should be replaced following his shaky appearance in Atlanta.

The 81-year-old president met with his family at Camp David to discuss his political future after facing criticism for his frail and confused performance during the debate. Speculation is rife that Biden’s family urged him to stay in the race, but discussions about potentially replacing campaign advisers were also reported.

Top Democrats have been engaged in crisis talks, considering alternative candidates to replace Biden. Names like Vice President Kamala Harris, Transport Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and Governors Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer, Wes Moore, and JB Pritzker have been floated as possible emergency successors.

The debate performance has also led to some of Biden’s campaign donors requesting refunds for their contributions. Despite this, the campaign manager reported a surge in donations and volunteer applications following the debate.

The situation remains fluid as the Democratic Party grapples with the fallout from Biden’s debate performance and the uncertainty surrounding his candidacy. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
