Leaders of the Democratic National Committee are quickly moving to confirm President Biden as the party’s presidential nominee by the end of July. An NYT report claims that individuals familiar with the matter who requested anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the discussions, said that the DNC will quickly solidify Biden’s position as nominee at a time when there are internal debates about whether he should run again following a lacklustre debate performance.
Since May, plans have been in place to confirm him through a virtual roll call, weeks before the Democratic National Convention in August. However, as doubts about Biden persist within the party, some delegates are eager to end the public debates about his future during this highly competitive campaign.
The recent assassination attempt on Donald Trump appeared to have dimmed the rage to replace Biden as the candidate. Congressional Democrats’ intense concerns about President Biden’s candidacy have been suddenly overshadowed by an assassination attempt on former President Trump. One House Democrat told Axios: “We’re all just focused on expressing condolences … and keeping our teams safe.” A senior House Democrat also said that the atmosphere within the party is too “chaotic” for internal battles over leadership in the wake of the shooting.
The Republican National Convention kicked off on Monday, with former President Donald Trump naming U.S. Senator JD Vance of Ohio as his running mate. Despite recent challenges, Trump and his team are demonstrating resilience as the four-day event showcases his platform and the party formally nominates him.
Republican officials remain determined to proceed with their plans, even amidst heightened security concerns following the recent attack on Trump. The event will feature increased security measures and acknowledge the close call Trump experienced at his Pennsylvania rally, where he was rushed to safety by Secret Service agents.
As the convention unfolds, the party is grappling with a mix of anger and anxiety. While many top Republicans are urging for calm and a reduction in tensions, the tone of the speeches remains uncertain. Will the recent events lead to more fiery rhetoric, or will calls for calm and unity prevail?
Elected officials, politicians, and a few ordinary Americans will address the conference, setting the stage for the Republican Party’s direction in the wake of the attack.
