Joe Biden has officially withdrawn his candidacy for re-election as President of the United States. As a result, the Democratic Party will now be represented by Kamala Harris, who has the support of both Biden and the party members. However, the Democratic Party is still in search of strategies to defeat Donald Trump in the upcoming election. To delve deeper into this topic, we reached out to international analyst Gustavo Sierra.
According to Sierra, the Democrats have relieved themselves of a significant issue with Biden’s exit. “They had a major dilemma because, while he was a strong candidate, Biden’s health became a considerable disadvantage, especially with his recent deterioration,” Sierra noted. Despite this relief, he emphasized that the party now faces the challenge of winning the election, indicating that no candidate seems assured to beat Trump.
Kamala Harris appears to be the leading candidate for the Democratic Party. Sierra pointed out that Harris not only has Biden’s endorsement but also quickly gained widespread support from the party. This positions her as the likely Democratic nominee. Moving forward, it will be crucial for the Democrats to establish a clear campaign strategy that can effectively challenge Trump.
Sierra stressed the need for the Democrats to find a coherent voice and a well-defined plan to present to an electorate that is divided and frustrated. This frustration arises not only from Biden’s age but also from a general lack of responses from political leadership.
Regarding the recent incidents, Sierra remarked that the attacks did not provide Trump with a decisive advantage among voters. “In the United States, polls still hold weight, and what we’ve observed is that the attacks did not move the needle significantly for Trump,” he explained. He added that there was nothing particularly grave about the situation, which means the electorate remains as divided as ever.
Trump’s supporters are unlikely to change their stance, and similarly, those opposed to him will also remain steadfast. In concluding his remarks, Sierra noted that the crucial decision in this campaign doesn’t lie with these groups, but rather with the segment of the electorate that rarely engages.
