Questions are constantly being raised on Joe Biden’s candidacy for the US presidential election. The media and his opponents are demanding him to withdraw from the race citing his age. Meanwhile, all is not well within Joe Biden’s party, the Democrats. Many Democrat leaders are openly opposing Joe Biden’s candidacy. The situation has reached such a point that Joe Biden is not able to trust his party leaders and campaign committee.
In this election, the entire responsibility of his campaign has been taken up by his family and his very close friend Mike Donilon. The situation has worsened to such an extent that Joe Biden is not even meeting the party’s 500-member campaign committee directly. In such a situation, questions are being raised whether Joe Biden will be able to challenge a strong candidate like Donald Trump on his own. Will his friendship with Mike Donilon prove to be a burden for him?
Command in the hands of family and friends
According to a report in the Times of India, Joe Biden is completely dependent on his son Hunter and wife Jill Biden. Apart from this, only a few of his trusted people are with him. The most prominent name in this is Mike Donilon. Donilon is an old friend of Biden. In such a situation, Joe Biden is neither taking the support of any of his special White House officials nor the big leaders of the party in this fight. Due to this, the number of people raising questions about Joe Biden’s candidacy is increasing even within the party. Democrat leaders are worried that Biden may lose this election badly. In such a situation, his electoral clan has shrunk considerably.
won’t stop speaking the truth
Meanwhile, Joe Biden once again called for reducing bitterness in political rhetoric. However, he also targeted his Republican rival Donald Trump and said that doing so does not mean that we stop speaking the truth. Addressing the NAACP conference in Las Vegas, Biden said that dealing with political violence in the country should mean curbing all forms of bloodshed, better combating police brutality and banning weapons like the AR-style rifle used in the attack on Trump last weekend. The US President said that the time has come for an important discussion in the country. Our political scenario has become very heated.
At the conference, the President was seen demonstrating his administration’s support for black voters, who are considered a major vote bank of the Democratic Party as well as its staunch supporters. He described Trump’s tenure as President as hell for black Americans. Biden also targeted the previous Trump administration for mismanagement of the coronavirus pandemic, rising unemployment during the lockdown and alleged efforts to erase black history.
