The debate over replacing Biden in the presidential race intensifies, but with Harris leading in the polls.
Significant changes
A recent CNN political poll in the US revealed significant shifts in Democratic voters’ opinions, particularly following Biden’s debate performance with Trump, affecting the current president’s prospects for the November election.
Better chances
Results suggest that Vice President Kamala Harris would have a better chance of winning the election than Joe Biden if Biden withdrew from the race.
Disappointing performance
Joe Biden’s prospects of securing the Democratic Party nomination suffered a severe blow after his televised debate and his perceived disappointing performance against Donald Trump.
A record level
This situation quickly provoked a crisis within the Democratic Party, since, according to the latest forecasts, Biden’s chances have fallen to a record low.
Considerably increased
With these major upheavals within the party, Vice President Kamala Harris’s chances of success in the presidential race would have increased considerably, positioning her ahead of all other potential Democratic candidates for election, should Biden see his candidacy replaced for the 2024 elections.
The most viable
Recent polls affirm that Kamala Harris is the most viable candidate to face Trump.
Hypothetical face-off
In a hypothetical face-off between Trump and Biden, the poll shows that Trump would have a six-point lead over Biden. Harris, however, would be closer with 47% of voters backing her, while Trump would have 45% of the vote.
More popular
Kamala Harris is considered more popular with women and independent voters than Joe Biden, which goes a long way to bolstering the Democratic camp’s performance.
Unprecedented
As the November elections approach, the Democratic Party is experiencing a period of unprecedented turbulence. Party members are uncertain about Biden’s continued leadership and are wondering whether they should bet on Kamala Harris instead.
