REPORT: Biden Delayed Dropping Out of Race Because He Doesn’t Believe Kamala Can Win
Joe Biden delayed dropping out of the presidential race because he was concerned about Kamala Harris’s capability of defeating Donald Trump.
According to Axios, Biden and his advisors were reluctant to drop out of the race because they didn’t believe she was “up to” the job of winning the presidency.
The report states:
President Biden hesitated to drop his re-election campaign in part because he and his senior advisers worried that Vice President Kamala Harris wasn’t up to taking on Donald Trump, according to three Biden aides familiar with recent talks about his plans.
Biden, 81, ultimately decided to withdraw under pressure from the partyand endorsed Harris, but his private anxieties reflect broader questions among some Democratic leaders about Harris as their nominee this November.
