What now? Democrats face dilemma of supporting Harris or allowing an open convention

Following President Joe Biden’s resignation this Sunday from continuing to be the Democratic candidate in the November elections, and with the president signaling his support and backing for the Vice President of the United States Kamala Harris to fight the transcendental duel with Donald Trump, everyone Look closely at the movements in the Democratic Party United States.

Harris does not have all the voices in her party in her favour, although she is gaining more and more. However, the vice president herself has stepped on the accelerator and has already presented her candidacy to become Donald Trump’s new opponent. Biden’s campaign has officially become the vice president’s campaign, which has raised 49.6 million dollars (45.5 million euros) in just one afternoon thanks to donations from party members.

In this moment of chaos and uncertainty, a good part of the party and donors They have rushed to cover himsuch as former President Bill Clinton and former presidential candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Meanwhile, others such as former President Barack Obama, influential California Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi or Senate Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer have not expressed sympathy for anyone. In this regard, Obama has asked the Democratic Party nominate an “extraordinary candidate” for the November elections, but in his message he has avoided endorsing the vice president.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries issued a statement that also made no mention of his support for Harris, who is nonetheless the best positioned to win the nomination within a month.

So far, no one has declared their intention to challenge Harris, who, according to some polls, is getting better voting intentions against Trump than Biden. The only alternative to Harris who consistently has better poll numbers than Trump is another woman of color: Michelle Obama.
