Some Democrats openly question whether he should be replaced as their candidate for the 2024 poll
WASHINGTON – After President Joe Biden’s shaky performance at the debate with former president Donald Trump on Thursday night, some Democrats openly questioned whether he should be replaced as their candidate for the 2024 election.For answers on how that would work, Reuters spoke to Elaine Kamarck, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution think tank, a Democratic National Committee member, and author of the book “Primary Politics” about the presidential nominating process.
Some of his top potential replacements — Vice President Kamala Harris and California Governor Gavin Newsom — spoke passionately in his defence after the debate, serving in a surrogate role that showcased their support but also contrasted their smooth delivery with his faltering one on the Atlanta debate stage.Biden has spent the last several months accruing nearly 4,000 Democratic delegates by winning primary elections in US states and territories.
Vice President Harris would almost certainly be at the top of the list, but she has had her own problems after a rocky start on the job and poor polling numbers. The US Constitution dictates that the vice president becomes president if the president dies or becomes incapacitated, but it does not weigh in on an inter-party process for choosing a nominee.
Candidates would have to get signatures from 600 convention delegates to be nominated. There are expected to be some 4,672 delegates in 2024, including 3,933 pledged delegates and 739 automatic or superdelegates, according to Ballotpedia.
