The Democratic Party is facing a potential crisis following Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump. Concerns about Biden’s fitness to serve have intensified, leaving the party in a state of panic with whispers of Biden stepping down becoming louder.
The debate has left the party reeling. It has always been the plan from the start, which is why they scheduled the debate for this year unusually early. According to Democratic bigwig, Obama campaign guru David Axelrod, the Biden team scheduled one of the earliest presidential debates in history to prove to naysayers that Joe’s not going anywhere. However, this strategy carries tremendous risk. While an efficient debate performance by Biden could help rally Democrats behind him, a significant misstep would only stoke more replacement chatter.

Former Clinton advisor and polling expert Mark Penn suggested the CNN debate would be Biden’s last chance to reassure voters he’s fit for the job. Now, sources tell DailyMail.com that if Joe stumbles in that first face-off with Trump or if his polling numbers keep falling, it’ll take a united front of the liberal grandees to make Joe throw in the towel. ‘The only people who could force him out would be Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer,’ one Democratic strategist told DailyMail.com. ‘It would have to be the four of them collectively.’
However, there is another potential complication. Biden could stubbornly refuse to step down and continue his campaign until Election Day. This scenario would put the Democratic Party in a difficult position, contending not only with a stubborn incumbent but also with potential backlash from leftists if Kamala Harris is passed over for the nomination. According to sources, “That person would not be Vice President Kamala Harris, who has already had to fend off a push to replace her on the ticket.”
Strategists theorize that Democrats would have to hold a public event to symbolically transfer power to the new candidate. Biden, Obama, Clinton, Schumer, and Pelosi would publicly introduce and endorse the anointed nominee.
