MOSCOW (Sputnik) – US journalist Tucker Carlson believes that members of the Democratic Party should and will remove President Joe Biden from the ongoing presidential race, following his poor performance at the first debate against Former US President Donald Trump.
Last Thursday, Biden faced off against Trump in a CNN-hosted debate in Atlanta. Biden’s performance reportedly sparked concerns among Democrats and raised questions about the future of his candidacy. Despite admitting his poor performance, Biden and his campaign assured the public that they would not end the reelection bid.
«Biden is done. Bet on it. Too many prominent Democrats have suggested he’s brain damaged. They can’t walk that back. They have to remove him, and they will. The only question is when. If they’re smart, they’ll do it immediately,» he wrote on X.
Carlson argued against the «nonsense» opinion that only Biden himself can make the decision to drop his reelection bid, saying that «that’s not how the Democratic Party works.»
«At this point Trump is not just the Republican candidate, but effectively the presumptive president,» he added.
The US presidential election is slated for November 2024. The main contenders expected on the ballot are Biden and Trump, who have both won enough delegates’ votes to be their respective Democratic and Republican parties’ presumptive nominees. Trump and Biden are set to debate again on September 10.
