Columnist Suggests Democrats Might Have Been Better Off Sticking With Joe Biden
As the 2024 presidential election approaches, some Democrats are beginning to wonder if they made the right decision by replacing Joe Biden with Kamala Harris as their candidate. With the election just weeks away, one columnist is raising the question: would Biden, despite his age and mental decline, have been the better choice to take on Donald Trump?
Harlan Ullman, writing for The Hill, suggests that even though Harris quickly took over the campaign after Biden’s departure, the recent developments haven’t been favorable for her. Ullman notes that October has been particularly difficult for the Harris campaign, with polls showing Donald Trump closing the gap and even possibly leading in some key areas.
Ullman speculates that, had Biden remained in the race, he might have performed better than Harris, especially if certain events, like the disastrous June 27 debate between Harris and Trump, had gone differently. This debate has been seen as a turning point, leading some to believe Biden might not have fared as poorly.
The prospect of a Trump victory is causing unrest within the Democratic Party, and Ullman’s column previews the potential for deep infighting if Harris loses. The idea that Biden, despite his challenges, may have been a stronger candidate is starting to gain traction among some political commentators.
As the election draws closer, many Democrats are left wondering if they made the wrong choice, and what the fallout might be if Trump prevails on Election Day.
