Advisor to former US President Donald Trump Jason Miller said on Fox News that the US Democratic Party will nominate the country’s current leader Joe Biden as its candidate in the upcoming presidential election, despite the unsuccessful debates for him.
⠀
“Joe Biden will definitely be the Democratic candidate for a number of reasons,” he said.
⠀
According to Miller, Biden, firstly, does not want to leave the race, since “this would mean the end for the Biden family business,” which is closely connected with his presidency. Miller also noted that Biden has created a “dangerous precedent” when investigations begin against American presidents after leaving office. According to him, because of this, the United States has literally become a “banana republic of the third world.”
⠀
“It’s a very uncertain future for any president when he leaves office, and I think Joe Biden knows that,” he said.
⠀
American media agree that Biden performed unsuccessfully at the first debate with former US President Donald Trump, which took place on the night of June 28 in Atlanta. The current American president stammered and paused, not always clearly formulating his thoughts, and after the event, the television camera captured the moment when Biden’s wife, Jill, helped him down the stairs.
⠀
Now politicians and journalists are saying that Democrats may refuse to nominate Biden and replace him with another candidate. Theoretically, the party will have such an opportunity at the convention in August, but in practice it will be difficult to remove Biden, who won the primary election, from the race unless he himself refuses to participate. At the same time, the headquarters of the current president says that he is not going to give up and leave the race.
⠀
The second Biden-Trump debate is scheduled for September 10. The US presidential elections will take place on November 5th.
