The recent presidential debate on Thursday, June 28, between Joe Biden and Donald Trump has sparked significant controversy and concern among Democrats. President Biden's performance, described as feeble and disastrous, has led to widespread speculation about his ability to continue as the Democratic nominee. Prominent figures, including Nikki Haley and John Bolton, have suggested that the Democratic Party may consider replacing Biden with a younger candidate. Despite the criticism, Biden has shown no intention of dropping out of the race, asserting his confidence in defeating Trump in the upcoming November election. The debate has also led to discussions about potential alternative candidates for the Democratic nomination, such as Gavin Newsom and Kamala Harris. Biden is currently consulting with his family at Camp David.
