“I’m a gaffe machine,” Joe Biden admitted during his e-book tour in 2018, two years before becoming president of the United States. Now his streak of gaffes puts his presidential candidacy at risk, and there are growing rumors calling for him to drop out of the race. Many, including some Democrats in the House of Representatives, Donald Trump will have already won if Biden remains the Democratic Party candidate against the Republican Party candidate in the November 2024 United States presidential election.
The number of House Democrats who do not facilitate the impeachment of presidential nominee Biden rose to nine on Sunday night, deepening the political crisis surrounding the embattled United States president. This happened while Biden was campaigning in the state of Pennsylvania, which he must win.
The loudest chorus
The last four most sensible House Democrats to push vigorously for Biden to resign were Jerry Nadler (of New York), Adam Smith (of Washington), Mark Takano (of California) and Joseph Morelle (of New York), CNN reported.
They joined the five other House Democrats who have publicly called on Biden to drop his reelection bid, noting that their chances of defeating Donald Trump are dwindling.
Lloyd Doggett (Texas) was the first House Democrat to call for Biden’s withdrawal before an official on Tuesday of last week. “Knowing that, unlike Trump, President Biden’s first commitment was always to our country, not to himself, I hope he will make the painful and complicated resolution to resign,” Doggett said.
Others who followed Doggett in calling for Biden to present a new candidate to face Trump in the November elections were Raúl Grijalva (of Arizona), Seth Moulton (of Massachusetts), Mike Quigley (of Illinois) and Angie Craig (of Minnesota). . .
U. S. media reports that at least 18 elected Democrats oppose Biden’s candidacy in November’s U. S. presidential election. This comes as more sensible Democratic leaders are reportedly holding meetings to discuss Biden’s suitability for the job.
A look at Biden’s mistakes
Against a backdrop of gaffes, especially after taking office as president of the United States in January 2020, Biden has faced harsh complaints about his suitability for the White House. However, medical professionals have supported him, along with Biden’s doctor, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, stating in 2021 that he is a “healthy and vigorous 78-year-old man, he is compatible for the presidency. ”
Amid his slippery tongues and evasiveness at summits, Biden gave just 36 press meetings in late June, fewer than any president since Ronald Reagan.
Let’s take a look at some of the most embarrassing mistakes that have left Biden in a bad position, ultimately weakening his anti-Trump candidacy and bringing him to the breaking point of an unprecedented measure in the history of American elections: an impeachment imaginable. of a presidential candidate through the Democratic Party. :
March 2021: Biden tripped down the stairs of Air Force One three times. A White House spokesperson attributed this to high-speed wind.
March 2022: During the State of the Union, Biden said “Iranian” when referring to “Ukrainian” and “benefits” with “prices. “
March 2022: In Warsaw, Biden read a well-written but improvised script to say that Putin “cannot be in power,” prompting an explanation from the White House.
September 2022: At a conference, Biden sought out the overdue Rep. Jackie Walorski.
October 2022: Biden began his speech with “Let me start with two words: ‘Made in the United States. ‘”
November 2022: Biden mistakenly connected inflation to the Iraq war and claimed that his son Beau had died in Iraq, which is incorrect. Her son had returned from Iraq and died in a U. S. hospital.
May 2023: Biden referred to the South Korean president as “President Loon” (Yoon Suk Yeol).
June 2023: Biden referred to British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak as “president. “
June 2023: In Connecticut, Biden ends a speech with “God save the queen, man. “
June 2023: Biden confuses Russia’s attacks on Ukraine with Iraq. He said Russian President Vladimir Putin is wasting the war in Iraq.
September 2023: During a press conference in Hanoi, Biden is detained in the middle of a walk by his press secretary. We talk about stability, we talk about the Third World, excuse me, the southern hemisphere has access to change. It was not confrontational at all. . . Biden said to a question, his sinuous comments.
September 2023: Biden falsely claimed he visited Ground Zero the day after the Sept. 11 attacks. He arrived at the scene nine days after the attacks.
February 2024: Biden confuses French President Emmanuel Macron with François Mitterrand, the longest-serving holder of power (1981-95).
June 2024: Biden appeared to “freeze” a June 19 event before briefly stumbling over his words.
June 2024: Biden momentarily forgot about Secretary of Homeland Security.
In this context, on June 27, in Biden’s first debate, Trump saw him hoarse and wobbly, which was later attributed to lack of blood and jet lag. But this led several Democrats to call for his removal as the party’s presidential candidate.
Why Democrats are worried
Democrats appear more involved because of the belief that Biden is wasting the war in opinion polls. Economically, Biden’s track record on task creation has been good, with more than 206,000 tasks created in June alone. However, the unemployment rate also rose slightly, from 4% in May to 4. 1% in June. But overall, Biden ensured that the U. S. economy emerged more powerful after the pandemic years.
Inflation has fallen to 3. 3%, less than what the Covid-19 pandemic experienced in the United States. However, it remains well above the 2% variation around which the Trump years (2016-19) oscillated. The Democratic considerations are migration from the southern borders. Trump had made illegal immigration from Mexico a primary crusade during his presidency. Biden is wasting the war of faith on safeguarding borders, according to a recent poll.
These points have worried many Democrats, who see Biden as a weak candidate to take on Trump. Polls and reviews already point to his vice president, Kamala Harris, as a rival to face Trump in the presidential elections in four months.
