First of all, the first question is what are the key milestones. Let's say that the first big day is August 19-22. In the next few days, the Democratic National Convention will be held in Chicago, and it sounds quite grand. In order to become an official candidate, you must get 300 signatures of delegates before the congress, which is a hard threshold. So, before the opening of the conference, the list of candidates will be settled. Then these candidates will give speeches and enlist the support of the delegates, just like a draft. Whoever wins the majority vote will be the Democratic presidential candidate. Then, the second time node is also crucial, there is a second presidential election debate in September, and then the new Democratic candidate will have to face Trump head-on, which is really a lot of pressure.
Let's talk about the second question: what made Biden decide to quit? Many people speculate, is it because Trump was shot, or Biden was diagnosed with the new crown again? Actually, it's neither. Although Trump's approval rating did rise after the shooting, it was at best a catalyst and really not a key factor. As for the new crown, it is only a superficial reason, if Biden's approval rating can really crush Trump, that physical problem is nothing at all, and the Democratic Party will not be so tormented. So, the real reason is that it has been accumulated for a long time, Biden's health has always been a hidden concern, and his performance in public appearances is also unsatisfactory. Also, this election is not only about the president, but also about the election of the Senate and the House of Representatives, and many lawmakers feel that if Biden continues to run, it may drag down the election of the entire Democratic Party, so the party has been pressuring him to withdraw from the election.
The third question is, are the new Democratic candidates ready? Oh, to be honest, United States presidential candidates are generally selected from governors and senators, but no one is ready this year. The Democratic Party has not produced people who are sure to defeat Trump, which is one of the reasons why Biden has not withdrawn from the election. None of the current potential candidates stand out. The current Vice President Kamala · Harris is the most likely, after all, she has accumulated some political capital as Biden's deputy. Moreover, as a female politician with India and Jamaica roots, she still has some appeal to younger and minority voters. On July 21, Harris also expressed hope that she would win the Democratic nomination for the presidential nomination. California Gov. Gavin · Newsom and Michigan Gov. Gretchen · Whitmer are also considered potential contenders, but both have recently shied away or denied the hypothesis. Therefore, no matter who becomes the candidate of the Democratic Party, it is a critical appointment, which is also very rare in history, and in the face of the upcoming election, this position is like a "hot potato".
The last question, can Biden's withdrawal from the election change the status quo in United States? Truth be told, after Biden withdraws from the election, the election situation for the Democratic Party may become more difficult. On the one hand, the contradictions within the Democratic Party have been laid bare in the open. More than 30 lawmakers have suggested that Biden withdraw from the race, and although this is not a majority in the party, the reason why these opposition voices are difficult to calm down is most likely that some high-ranking members of the Democratic Party are allowing these voices to spread. Everyone knows that it is an open secret that there are factions within the Democratic Party, but out of fear of Trump, they have shown great restraint in their differences. In the 2020 election, Biden was able to maintain "restrained unity" within the Democratic Party, but now his "unqualified" campaign performance has ignited the long-accumulated contradictions within the Democratic Party.
On the other hand, it is difficult to bring more unity to "let the virtuous". Voices within the Democratic Party about changing candidates are inherently unanimous
If the follow-up election is still at a disadvantage, there will even be a cry of "we might as well not change it at the beginning". As a result, the Democratic Party is now pinning its hopes on the mistakes of its opponents rather than relying on their own changes in the election.
Looking at Trump, in order to win more votes, exaggeration and misrepresentation have become his hallmarks. According to United States CNN, he made more than 20 false statements during his speech at the Republican National Convention alone. The perception of Trump within the Republican Party is more of a tactical bowing than recognition. For these United States politicians, the interests of individuals, political parties, and groups are put above national interests, and mutual attacks and accusations are used to the extreme. Whether it is a change of leadership of a party or a new president taking office, it is difficult to change the old ways.
Our Chinese netizens also have a lot of opinions on this matter. Someone said, "Oh, this United States election is a farce!" Biden's retreat makes the Democratic Party even more dangerous. Someone else commented: "Trump's mouth is really open-mouthed, exaggerated and outrageous." Unfortunately, United States voters still eat this set. Some netizens ridiculed: "The Democratic Party's election of a newcomer this time is a 'hot potato', whoever is on it is unlucky!" Many people also said: "No matter how it is changed, the political tricks of the United States have not changed at all, and it is the same for whoever comes up." ”
In short, United States this election, there are really a lot to see and treacherous. As bystanders, we can only wait and see how this political drama will end. I hope that voters in United States will keep their eyes open and see these politicians for what they really are.
