President Biden’s surprising announcement that he will be exiting the 2024 presidential race has sparked speculation and debate among delegates and attendees at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. With Biden’s decision to step aside, the question on everyone’s mind is: who will take his place?
Delegates and attendees at the convention shared their thoughts with Fox News Digital, offering a range of opinions on potential replacements for Biden. Some believe that Vice President Harris would be the likely choice if Biden were to drop out, while others expressed doubts about her candidacy, calling her a “weak candidate.”
Despite the uncertainty surrounding Biden’s exit, one attendee confidently stated that former President Trump would easily defeat any Democratic candidate put forward. Another attendee expressed support for Harris, as well as other potential candidates like California Gov. Gavin Newsom and former first lady Michelle Obama.
As speculation continues to swirl about who will replace Biden, the Democratic Party faces a challenging decision. With Harris seen as the frontrunner due to her access to funds from the Biden war chest, the situation is described as “unusual” by one attendee.
Biden’s decision to suspend his re-election campaign comes after a lackluster debate performance against Trump and mounting pressure from within the Democratic Party. The president, 81, cited the best interests of his party and the country as the reasons for his decision to step aside.
As the nation awaits Biden’s formal address about his decision, the political landscape remains uncertain. With the 2024 presidential race now wide open, the stage is set for a new chapter in American politics.
