During the primaries earlier in the year, the president won an astonishing 3,896 delegates needed to vote for him, while he needed only 1,968 to secure the nomination. This was the first time that someone had dropped out of the race for the White House after securing the nomination in his party’s primary and only 100 days before the presidential election. Many North American historians have stressed that “this is unprecedented.”
Although Biden himself has nominated Vice President Kamala Harris as his preferred candidate, nothing compels her, who has about 4,000 delegates, to vote for him.
The big question is how they will distribute their votes.
The process of selecting the new candidate will be “transparent and disciplined,” Democratic Party Leader Jaime Harrison said in a statement.
but, If Democrats get rid of a potentially disastrous nominee in a few weeks, after months of promoting him, the amendment could be worse than the sonnet.
Violations
In another development in what many are already calling “the worst.” reality tv show “The World,” Speaker of the North American House of Representatives, Republican Mike Johnson admitted that replacing Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee could violate electoral law. In some states, it is therefore illegal to change candidates on ballots.
“It would be wrong, and I think illegal, under the rules in some of these states, for a bunch of people to go into a little back room and change it because they don’t like the nominee anymore. That’s not how it’s supposed to work,” Johnson said at the CNN and ABC microphones.
The Republican acknowledged that legal action could arise. “We’ll see what happens, but I think it’s a problem, and I think millions of people see it as a problem,” he said.
“There’s a reason this is unprecedented. Rules and processes are not overturned because someone decides a candidate is no longer a good fit.He also stressed.
However, ballots are not finalised until after candidates are nominated, so Johnson’s argument of illegitimacy appears to have been dead from the start.
Speaking to the Huffington Post, Rick Hasen, an election law expert and professor at the University of California, Berkeley, said he saw no legal reason why Democrats could not choose someone other than Biden.
disrespect and conspiracy
Democratic Party He has spent the past few weeks trying to reverse the will of the American people expressed in primaries across the country.“, he accused.
“Democrats in Washington have proven that they are no more capable than the president to ensure the strong borders, safe streets, and stable housing that working families deserve,” he added, in what should be another campaign slogan.
Elise Stefanik, chairwoman of the Congressional Republican Conference, spoke of the conspiracy. “Behind-the-scenes donors, Democratic elites, and public media stenographers They conspired in this direct attack on democracy by being able to force the candidate who received the votes to withdraw. “Necessary to work as a candidate,” he wrote on the X network.
Mike Johnson also presented Biden’s decision to step down as a coup orchestrated by the Democratic Party. “We have to be clear about what just happened,” he said. “The Democratic Party forced the Democratic nominee to step down just over 100 days before the election.”
Missouri Senator Josh Hawley accused Democrats of “rigging their elections.”
“Resignation” Mr. President
He also called on Senator Joe Biden to step down from the presidency. “Resign,” Hawley said. “If you can’t run a clean political campaign, you can’t be president.”
Richard Hudson, chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, left the same appeal, calling Biden’s withdrawal a “scandal of historic proportions.”
“If the president is mentally incapable of campaigning, he is mentally incapable of possessing the nuclear codes.“The trial will come in November,” he said on X Network.
Mike Johnson also supported views calling for Joe Biden to resign from the presidency.
Such a possibility would immediately make Kamala Harris the leader of the White House, a more favorable stage in principle for her campaign, virtually guaranteeing her nomination as the Democratic candidate for the presidential election.
For now, most of Harris’s potential rivals have opted to declare their support for the vice president, leaving her path clear.
The Democratic Party is expected to meet virtually in early August for a roll call vote, weeks before the convention scheduled for Chicago on Aug. 19.
In addition to the 3,896 delegates allocated to Biden whose direction is now unknown, 739 superdelegates, or automatic delegates, have also been elected and can vote for any candidate.
