President Joe Biden is facing pressure from within his own party to drop out of the upcoming election. Democrats are concerned that he cannot win and his continued candidacy could lead to a landslide defeat for the party. Several high-profile Democrats have reportedly told Biden that he should step aside, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senators Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump is gearing up for his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, which is expected to be a defining moment in his campaign for a second term. The speech will follow a weekend where Trump survived an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania. His daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, has stated that the event has prompted him to revise his speech, placing more emphasis on unity.
Vice President Kamala Harris, who could become the Democratic nominee if Biden drops out, has dismissed Trump’s call for unity, citing his continued denial of his 2020 election loss.
Opinion polls suggest that Biden is facing an uphill battle in several key states, while Trump’s campaign believes they are competitive in states that traditionally lean Democratic. The outcome of the election remains uncertain, but it is clear that the race is tightening.
