During the Democratic primary election, most voters overwhelmingly backed Joe Biden. The president faced multiple challengers who he refused to debate; nevertheless, he still coasted to de facto nominee status, largely aided by being an incumbent president. When Democrats hold their convention next month, Biden will very likely carry the nomination.
In spite of this, it’ll take some work for him to secure a second term in the White House. Right now, Biden needs to convince the country that he’s mentally and cognitively up for the job. This is something the president has struggled with in the weeks after his June debate against Donald Trump.
To say that the debate went poorly for Biden would be a significant understatement. Now, a new poll shows the majority of Independent and Democratic voters want the incumbent president to bow out.
Findings from the Associated Press/NORC Center for Public Affairs Research
According to the latest data, 77% of Independents and 65% of Democrats want Biden to let a different leftist proceed with the party’s nomination. People of this view argue if the current president remains in the race, he’ll simply lose to Trump this November.
