Washington: Agencies
Former US President Donald Trump said on Friday that Vice President Kamala Harris will be an easier opponent in the upcoming elections than current President Joe Biden.
Amid increasing internal criticism of Biden's disastrous performance in the debate with Trump, American politicians and journalists say that Biden's candidacy could be replaced by another candidate, favoring Harris as his successor. According to what was reported by the Youm7 website in Cairo
Prominent Democrats say that Harris will be the natural successor to President Joe Biden if he yields to mounting pressure and abandons the Democratic Party nomination for him in the elections scheduled for November of this year.
“I think she might be simpler and easier than Biden in a lot of ways, but we don't think much about anyone else until he's gone,” Trump said.
Despite calls from many Democrats in Congress and Democratic Party donors, Biden says he has no plans to withdraw from the presidential race.
The New York Times reported on Friday evening that a group of donors will suspend about $90 million in donations if Joe Biden insists on running for the presidential elections.
There is a widespread belief among Democrats that Biden cannot win the race, and that the impact of this may extend to the electoral races in Congress in the House of Representatives and the Senate, which may give Republicans complete control over the executive and legislative branches of the US government.
