US election campaign - Politician: Democrats' chances better after Biden withdrawal
The political scientist David Sirakov sees the chances of the Democrats in the US Presidential election after Joe Biden's withdrawal as significantly improved. "The withdrawal has the potential to be a game changer. It's an opportunity for the Democrats to get back to political issues instead of repeatedly answering questions about age, health, and sleep behavior," he told the German Press Agency.
Whether Biden's withdrawal comes too late will be shown at the election on November 5. "For the party and the subsequent candidate or candidate, it's an unprecedented situation. A sitting, re-elected president has never dropped out of the race this late," said the head of the Atlantic Academy Rhineland-Palatinate. If the party leadership does not speak with one voice, however, this could be a test for the Democrats.
For Biden's potential successor Kamala Harris, the campaign would be a tough one, according to Sirakov. "She would have to use the remaining time to significantly improve her image. However, in hypothetical polls, she leads against Donald Trump, the Republican candidate. Whether that also applies if she becomes a candidate is unclear."
