Joe Biden praised Vice President Harris, saying, “Not only will she be a great vice president, she could be president of the United States.”
Speculation over Joe Biden’s replacement was fuelled by panic among Democrats during his first debate with Republican rival Donald Trump. Joe Biden is 81 and was seen fumbling, raising concerns about his “mental state”. But President Biden has repeatedly rejected calls from his own party for him to resign and expressed confidence that he is the most capable Democrat to defeat Trump. The president on Tuesday indirectly referred to the unrest within his own party, evoking President Harry S. Truman’s famous line: “If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog.”
In contrast, Trump has energized his supporters since narrowly escaping an assassination attempt at a recent campaign rally, raising his chances of winning what is expected to be a close November election against President Joe Biden. Both candidates have sought to portray a tougher stance toward China, with Chinese President Xi Jinping insisting that Taiwan will eventually be retaken, even if force is necessary.
