After four years, Biden and Trump are once again on the opposite side, staging an epic showdown. However, the reason why this debate has set off a high degree of heat around the world is not how commendable the two candidates' governance is, but rather that it has been criticized like two children's debates, especially Biden's performance of dozing off on stage several times, which makes people stunned.
The point is that this year's debate mode, in fact, has been adjusted in advance according to Biden's physical condition, adopting a mode of taking turns to speak, although there is a lack of wonderful microphone grabbing links, but for an 80-year-old man, it is very unrealistic to let him scold Trump for 90 minutes without rest, but Biden's team obviously did not expect that this would create an opportunity for Biden to doze off.
Therefore, after a debate, both candidates are full of slots, especially when the two sides discuss who plays golf well, as if a political comedy is staged. But compared with Trump, Biden's physical condition is obviously more worrying, his thinking and expression skills are obviously problematic, and he even needs someone to help him step down after the debate, which disgraces the Democratic Party.
Afterwards, although Biden tried to justify his poor performance on the grounds that he did not have a good rest, he still could not make up for the gap in the data. According to a poll released by the US media that night, 67% of people think Trump is doing better, while only 33% support Biden.

At the same time, anxiety is spreading within the Democratic Party, and more and more Democrats are beginning to speak out that Biden will withdraw from the election, including the funders, strategic understanding, and members of Congress who are building momentum for this election. They even signed a joint letter to the White House, asking Biden to voluntarily step aside and consolidate his political legacy, and the letter has been signed by 168 people, and the number of signatures is still growing.
For us, of course, the most concerned is who has the ability to succeed Biden in the election if Biden really withdraws from the election, after all, his political philosophy is related to the adjustment of China policy.
On this issue, judging by Trump's statement, it seems that he has identified US Vice President Kamala Harris as a potential contender. Since Harris moved into the White House, she has been lifeless and has not made any major achievements. Even at the beginning, there was a debate within the Democratic Party about whether Harris would drag down the Democratic race. But it wasn't until she was on the front lines of the abortion rights issue and enlisted the support of some young voters that things began to look better. According to recent polls, Harris also has a higher chance of winning than Biden. If she wins the Democratic nomination and wins the election, she will become the first female president in U.S. history.

Of course, Harris isn't the only option. In addition to Harris, Democratic sponsors have also nominated California Governor Gavsen Newsom as Biden's successor and are preparing to reraise funds to fund new candidates. Among the donors and fundraisers were even former Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, who discussed the current crisis with many donors, which shows how embarrassing Biden's current situation is.
It is worth mentioning that Newsom is not only in good health, but also insists on cooperation with China, visited China last year, and was also the biggest contributor to the Sino-US summit last year. At that time, after the Chinese leader arrived in the United States, it was also Newsom and his wife who were in charge of picking up the plane at the airport, and the two also attracted the attention of many netizens because of their beautiful appearance, and the limelight even overshadowed the US Secretary of Commerce Yellen who was standing next to him.
Newsom's China policy was evident during his previous visit to China. At that time, Newsom only stayed in China for a week, but it was a full itinerary, visiting six cities in China, and leaving a lot of impressive remarks, such as believing that China's success is the world's success, and strongly opposing the economic decoupling between China and the United States, saying a lot of good things about China.

During this period, Newsom also paid great attention to scientific and technological cooperation with China, and was very interested in China's development in the field of new energy. This view is very different from the current US government's attempt to contain China's electric vehicles.
In fact, Newsom has long been known as the "president of tomorrow" and is regarded by the outside world as Biden's most powerful successor. Newsom is not only born in a family of gatekeepers in California, his uncle is also Pelosi's own brother, he has deep roots in the Democratic Party, and there is a huge consortium behind him, and the most important thing is that Newsom is only 57 years old this year, and his future is bright, which can be said to meet some conditions for the election.
Even Biden has promised that Newsom can get any job he wants, including the president of the United States, but he didn't expect it to be a prophecy. It is not difficult to see that Newsom is obviously more pragmatic than those politicians in the United States who repeatedly talk about China for the sake of votes. However, the so-called position and seeking his post does not rule out that Newsom will change his China policy after he sits on the presidency one day. But it's still the same sentence, friends come and have good wine, and when the wolf comes comes with a shotgun, we have a way to deal with it.
