Vice President Kamala Harris, who is of Indian and African heritage, has a better chance of retaining the White House in the November presidential polls than her boss President Joe Biden has, according to the latest CNN poll.
The approval rating of Biden, 81, has plummeted after his dismal debate performance in Atlanta last week against his predecessor Donald Trump.
Biden's shaky performance rattled Democrats that he may be too old to serve another term in the White House at 81. One Democrat from the US House of Representatives publicly called on him to withdraw from the presidential race.
Trump for months had denied any wrongdoing and claimed that he had immunity from prosecution from three 'politically-motivated' cases intended to keep him from a second White House term. The landmark verdict means that Trump is unlikely to face any trial before the November re-match with Joe Biden.
While Joe Biden's family was aware of how poorly he performed against Donald Trump, they also continued to think the 81-year-old leader was the "best person" to beat the Republican presumptive nominee, Donald Trump. The same was echoed by the top Democrats.
Biden's recent debate performance might have a significant negative effect. If there are internal concerns, it suggests they're aware of the potential impact and may be considering how to address any fallout from the debate.
Earlier this year, Michelle Obama had been tipped to replace Biden, 81, as the Democrat candidate owing to the latter's age and mental health concerns in the run-up to the elections. Biden's shaky performance increased those fears and led to fresh calls for him to step aside.
Biden's voice was hoarse during the debate, and he stumbled and appeared lost for words against Trump's assertive barrage of criticisms during the high-stakes showdown on Thursday. This reignited concerns over his old age and mental health concerns.
After the Presidential debate fiasco of US President Joe Biden, former President and Democrat leader Barack Obama came into his support saying that bad debate nights happen.
Biden and Trump's bitter rivalry was on display as the two sparred fiercely on several issues and even took a dig at each other's golf abilities. Biden's slow and stuttering performance as compared to Trump's fuelled concerns about his old age and mental health.
Biden's voice was hoarse due to a cold, and he appeared to lose his train of thought and stumbled upon his answers while responding to a barrage of criticisms by Trump. Even Vice President Kamala Harris admitted he had a slow start amid mounting concerns over his age.
In a highly anticipated event, President Joe Biden and Donald Trump squared off in the first general election debate of the 2024 season in Atlanta. This debate marked a historic first, with both candidates being the oldest contenders to face off and CNN hosting its first presidential debate.
For 90 minutes on Thursday night, US President Joe Biden has the chance to show doubting Americans that, at age 81, he is capable of handling the rigours of another four-year term, when he faces off in a debate against Republican Donald Trump.
In late 2013, the US Senate passed legislation that included a provision to repeal a military ban on consensual sex, specifically targeting Article 125 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which criminalized "unnatural carnal copulation".
