Democratic Party Crisis: Joe Biden's Leadership Doubts After Debate

After a disappointing presidential debate, Democratic Party leaders and analysts are grappling with a wave of panic and confusion, raising questions about whether Joe Biden should withdraw from the 2024 presidential race.

The Thursday night debate has sparked serious concerns about the president's age and his capacity to lead the country for another four years, according to BBC reports.

In an unexpected move, the New York Times Editorial Board has called on President Biden to withdraw from the race, describing him as a "shadow of a great public servant" and highlighting his struggles in articulating achievements for a potential second term, as reported by CNN.

Former President Barack Obama faced criticism for endorsing Biden, stating that the choice remains between a candidate who fights for the people and one who is solely self-interested, according to Newsweek.

While some of President Biden's allies attempt to mitigate the impact of his weak debate performance, concerns about his age and mental faculties remain contentious within the party, as noted by BBC.

Discussions about replacing Biden as the Democratic nominee remain intense, with strategists, commentators, and Democratic officials expressing concerns about his actual chances of winning the November elections, as reported by BBC.
