00:00
He won the Democratic primaries earlier this year, but that does not make Joe Biden the
00:04
party's official candidate.
00:07
He still needs to be endorsed at the Democratic National Convention, taking place on the 19th
00:11
of August in Chicago.
00:13
Although Biden has indicated that he has no plans to leave the campaign, whispers have
00:18
been rippling among Democrats about potentially replacing him.
00:22
But it's far from a consensus.
00:24
California Governor Gavin Newsom says the party stands by Biden, telling MSNBC that
00:29
such talk is unhelpful.
00:31
You don't turn your back because of one performance.
00:34
What kind of party does that?
00:37
The only plausible scenario to replace Joe Biden as the Democrats' official candidate
00:41
would be for the president to withdraw voluntarily and allow the delegates voting to choose someone
00:46
else.
00:47
In the scenario that he were to step aside, it would create a scuffle among Democrats,
00:52
as there is no mechanism to anoint a successor.
00:56
This notion among Democrats that we should replace Biden simply proves my point, that
01:01
the Democrats have absolutely no spine, they panic and run at the first sign of adversity.
01:09
They are rushing and panicking at the first sign of danger.
01:14
The party has, however, already announced that it will hold a virtual roll call to formally
01:18
nominate Biden before in-person voting begins in Chicago.
01:22
The exact date for the roll call has not yet been set.
