Are the Democrats in Trouble After Biden’s Debate Performance?

The situation for the Democratic Party after the first debate of presidential candidates Joe Biden and Donald Trump, which took place on June 27, 2024, is not looking good. President Joe Biden’s negative image in the debate concerned many people; some of them suggested that substantial changes should be made in his administration. He stumbled and stuttered during the debate; aside from confusing numbers, the military, and other military-related topics came up when no one had asked. These blunders caused him a lot of difficulties in providing appropriate responses, which put him on the defensive for most of the debate.

Amid the poor performance of Biden, discussions are going on about whether to have an open convention or not, which would give the party another option to choose the nominee for the November election. According to a post by Politico News, even figures like former Senator Claire McCaskill are not confident in Biden as she said, "Joe Biden had one thing he had to do tonight. And he didn’t do it."

With the elections now less than five months away, Biden's debate is the new focus of crisis, leading to serious worries about the outcome if he is put to face Trump in the presidential debates. While some Democrats are still on his side, others are increasingly vocal in their call for him to drop the race. It is a matter of truth that Democrats have the campaign's last legs blooming even more as time goes by. Will they decide to support Biden or perhaps search for someone different? We shall see.
