Michelle Obama had been called on several times to try her luck in politics and contest the presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, Biden performed underwhelmingly in the presidential debate. He fumbled while advocating his administration&#8217;s steps and policy initiatives and appeared to have lost his train of thought several times. Although his allies claimed it to be a result of a cold, Trump took a dig at it while in the debate, which became a hot topic of discussion on virtual communication networks.<\/p>\n<p>The President&#8217;s performance heightened concerns that he may not be fit to serve another four-year term and some Democrats are now even considering replacing him as their candidate. His inability to clearly communicate during the 90-minute debate earned harsh criticism from across the US political spectrum, most notably among Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>I know I&#8217;m not a young man, to state the obvious<\/em>,&#8221; said Biden at a rally a day after his showdown, which was widely considered a defeat for the 81-year-old President. &#8220;<em>I don&#8217;t walk as easy as I used to, I don&#8217;t speak as smoothly as I used to, I don&#8217;t debate as well as I used to<\/em>,&#8221; he said, as the crowd chanted &#8220;<em>four more years<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Donald Trump called him the &#8220;<em>most incompetent president<\/em>&#8221; in US history. Trump also mentioned the demands from some Democrats and opinion writers calling for Biden to step aside, and criticised high-profile Democrats like Vice President Kamala Harris and Michelle Obama as well.<\/p>\n<p>Many overseas allies of the Democrats also called Biden&#8217;s performance a &#8220;<em>disaster<\/em>&#8221; and a &#8220;<em>shipwreck<\/em>&#8220;, calling for him to step aside. <em>The New York Times<\/em> editorial board, which endorsed Biden in 2020, called on him to drop out of the race to give the Democratic Party a better chance of facing Trump in the elections, by picking another candidate. &#8220;<em>The greatest public service Mr. Biden can now perform is to announce that he will not continue to run for re-election<\/em>,&#8221; the editorial said.<\/p>\n<p>However, if some might think replacing Biden for the election is a good idea, we need to consider that the risk of having Obama family at the White House again might not be such good news: no other president in U.S. history has ever involved America is as many wars as former President Obama did.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>yogaesoteric<br \/>\nJune 30, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this year, Michelle Obama had been tipped to replace Biden, 81, as the Democrat candidate owing to the latter&#8217;s age and psychic health concerns in the run-up to the elections.
