#228: Biden Should Be Replaced: Why and By Whom
In this email:
Fallout from Biden’s abysmal performance in the Presidential Debate
Should he be replaced by another candidate?
Potential Replacements
Terrible Debate Performance
It goes without saying that Biden tanked the first presidential debate. He looked senile, geriatric, and borderline suffering from dementia. Some of the highlights:
After fumbling his words and not being able to collect his thoughts, the president suddenly blurted out the nonsensical “we beat Medicare”
apparently, he meant to say “we beat big pharma”
His voice was extremely soft and without the vigor from 2019’s debates
the White House has explained he had a cold
Of course, the debate wasn’t a fluke, as in the past Biden has been seen reading the prompt “pause” during a speech and frequently seeming confused where he is.
Immediate Calls for Replacement
I mean, we all knew he was old — why would he have to be removed? Well, it’s all to do with feasibility of being elected. According to a recent poll, two thirds of Democrats want to replace Biden. 6% said Biden exceeded their expectations, and 46% said Trump did.
A poll conducted 72 hours after the debate for internal distribution for Democrats got leaked — showing key swing states moving to Trump, and solid blue states becoming uncertain.
Potential Replacements
Kamala Harris — current Vice President
Probably the most logical choice in the sense that she has been in office for the past 4 years — however, she is somewhat unlikeable and uncharismatic
Gavin Newsom — governor of California
He is charismatic — however, his governance is not seen particularly fondly
Pete Buttigieg — secretary of transportation
Young, sharp — he is lesser known to the public but could work
Gretchen Whitmer — governor of Michigan
She rose to the top of voter lists as the “Draft Gretch” movement has blown up with people wanting her to be the candidate
💡 Ape of the Emerald City’s Takeaway:
Personally, I think Whitmer should be the candidate. It is going to be an unprecedented uphill battle for Biden to convince undecided voters to trust him with a 4 year presidency. Whitmer is the governor of Michigan, a key battleground state which will play a significant role in deciding who wins. By contrast, Newsom’s California is practically guaranteed to vote blue either way.
All of the potential candidates above have expressed unwavering support for Biden even after the debate. Whether going with Biden or a new candidate, it’s going to be extremely difficult to gain voters. However, with the way things are going, it does seem highly possible that Biden could be replaced.
