On July 4, local time, the British parliamentary election came to an end, and according to voting statistics, the British Labour Party won more than half of the seats in the election of the House of Commons of Parliament, and won the election without any suspense. At the same time, Labour leader Starmore announced his appointment as the new British prime minister and formed a Labour government, while the current prime minister, Sunak, conceded defeat and said he would take responsibility for the defeat. Although multi-party rotation is commonplace under the Western voting system, because the British Conservative Party suffered an unprecedented fiasco this time, it also made the outside world exclaim that the British political scene has "changed".
It is worth mentioning that when British politics was shaken by the rout of the Conservative Party, the United States, which is in the same vein as the United Kingdom, was also experiencing a "political earthquake". According to the Observer, citing the news released by the US media "New York Times" on the 4th, Biden recently met with more than 20 Democratic governors at the White House. During the conversation, Biden admitted that he was "low on energy" and needed to schedule more rest and more sleep, but he still stressed that he was "capable of doing the job of the presidency and running for office." Not only that, but in a phone interview with the media, Biden openly admitted that he "screwed up the debate", but Biden believes that 90 minutes of debate is not enough to replace his work achievements over the past three and a half years.
But the problem is that the Democratic Party and the Democratic Party's financiers do not agree with Biden's explanation, and even issued him an "ultimatum". The US media "Bloomberg" disclosed in a report released on the 3rd that Charles Myers, the chairman of Signum Global Advisors, a major financial supporter of the Democratic Party and a well-known consulting company on Wall Street, believes that the whole development of the situation is very unfavorable to Biden, and the Democratic Party needs to decide whether Biden should withdraw from the election in the next 4 to 5 days. Charles Myers further pointed out that the pressure and panic of Democratic Party members is greater than that of Democratic donors.
In fact, Bloomberg revealed an inside story in a report released on the 3rd, dozens of Democratic congressmen have jointly sent a letter to Biden asking him to withdraw from the election, otherwise the only control of Congress by the Democratic Party is likely to be affected. In addition to members of the same party, there are also financiers who "force the palace" to Biden. Hattings, the co-founder of the famous streaming platform Netflix, told the New York Times that Biden needs to step aside to a "more energetic" Democratic leader to ensure that Trump is prevented from being elected. At the same time, Abigail Disney, the heir to the Disney Company, told the media that the Disney Company will no longer donate to the Democratic Party unless Biden announces his withdrawal from the election.
What's even more ironic is that when the Democratic Party began to be busy with the replacement, it was embarrassing to find that it could not find a more suitable candidate than Biden, the only poll support rate higher than Biden was Harris, who was vice president, but the only poll support rate exceeded Trump's, it turned out to be former President Obama's wife Michelle, but Michelle has repeatedly stated that he has no intention of running for election. It can be seen that "unavailable talents" has become the biggest challenge facing the Democratic Party at present, but even if the Democratic Party finds an ideal candidate to replace Biden, will it really be able to win? I'm afraid it's not that simple.
In this year's U.S. election, as in the previous one, voters are not voting for a "better leader," but about deciding who they "hate more." If four years ago it was Trump, now it is Biden. The Biden administration's ineffective management of inflation, coupled with its neglect of the demands of its own people, has led to a rapid increase in Trump's supporters over the past four years.
This even includes voters who have switched from Democrats to Republicans, which means that whoever replaces Biden in the race against Trump will have to carry the mess that Biden has left over the past three years or so, when the Democrats will have to "dance with shackles."
