A 'disorientated' Joe Biden put in a disastrous performance during a 90-minute head-to-head with Donald Trump, sending the Democratic party into total panic and raising the spectre that he could be replaced as candidate for the 2024 general election.
READ MORE:. READ MORE: Joe Biden could be replaced as the Democrats ' presidential candidate within weeks - with the Obamas and Clintons waiting in the wings to force him out if he refuses to step aside before the party convention in August, MailOnline can reveal.
But there are real fears that Biden will refuse to stand aside - and it could take an intervention from top Democrats such as Bill and Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Chuch Schumer to get Biden to consider stepping aside in the coming days. Hillary, who beat Biden to the Democrat nomination in 2016, has already said his age is a ‘legitimate issue’.
The Democratic National Convention will be held in Chicago from August 19 to 22. Each state sends a certain number of delegates to the national convention. Under party rules, the Democratic National Committee has the authority to choose a new candidate if either member of the ticket — the presidential or vice-presidential nominee — withdraws or dies.
That year, Democrats were worried their very unpopular president - Lyndon B. Johnson - could not win another term. Republicans have been issuing warnings about the increasingly doddery Biden for years. Donald Trump was insisting before the 2020 election that his gaffe-prone political rival had slipped into senility.
Investigators who quizzed Biden said that his memory ‘appeared to have significant limitations’ and he ‘did not remember, even within several years. when his son Beau died’. A recent poll showed a staggering 71 percent of swing-state voters - the people who will very likely decide the outcome of November’s presidential election - agreed that Biden ‘is too old to be an effective president’. Another new poll found 76 per cent of all voters have concerns about the President having the physical and mental strength for a second term.
The two brain aneurysms Biden suffered in 1988 were fully treated and he showed no signs of mental trouble as a result, according to a surgeon who operated on him.
