Obama did not expect that the 'Harris replaces Biden' plan he led would turn into a 'bad move'. Although there are only 5 days left until the U.S. election, the Democratic Party's situation is not optimistic. Because at this critical moment, Harris's approval rating has begun to decline, currently leading Trump by only 1 percentage point.
It should be noted that last month, Harris still had a 7 percentage point advantage. This situation has made the Democratic Party anxious; they recalled the 2016 U.S. election. Both are women, both are Democratic candidates, and in the initial stages of the showdown with Trump, Hillary was indeed riding high, although she later faced the 'Email Gate' scandal, her polls still maintained a huge advantage.
Seeing this situation, Hillary felt confident; a week before the election, she posted on social media, attaching a childhood photo of herself, with the caption 'Let's congratulate the future President of the United States'. As a result, Hillary suffered a major setback and lost to Trump.
But now Harris's situation is much worse than Hillary's; she is at least embroiled in allegations of plagiarism and a long-term ambiguous relationship with former San Francisco Mayor Brown, as well as three scandals related to the 'Boastful Old Man' incident. Moreover, as Harris's exposure increases, many American citizens have realized that she has no governing ability and is simply a 'political ornament'. Therefore, even with the Democratic Party investing a lot of resources, Harris's approval rating continues to decline.
In this context, Harris has suffered a major setback and is very likely unable to become the President of the United States. According to data released by the American polling agency 'RealClearPolitics', Trump is leading in all 7 swing states. Although there is a margin of error in U.S. polls, with Trump's average lead being only 1%, which is within the margin of error, the 'complete flip to red' situation in swing states could significantly affect the decisions of American moderate voters and put greater pressure on the Democratic camp. On July 21, Biden announced that he would not seek re-election and withdrew from the U.S. election. After a full 14 days of negotiations, the Democratic leadership finally confirmed Harris as a replacement candidate. After the results were announced, significant figures in the Democratic Party, including the Obamas, the Clintons, and Pelosi, took several more days to make their positions clear. Also, Biden's health issues had emerged early on; his frequent verbal gaffes and falls are no longer news, but why did the Democrats not want to replace him earlier, insisting on waiting until the television debate to make a decision? The emergence of this situation may be because the Democratic leadership is well aware that Harris lacks any capability, but they simply cannot find a replacement.
In this situation, Harris began to save herself, but the means she chose was to cut ties with Biden. It is important to note that Harris was able to enter the Washington authorities because Biden designated her as his running mate. However, according to reports from American media, Harris has already refused Biden's support in the election, which carries a certain sense of betrayal. Perhaps Harris feels that cutting ties with Biden at this time can eliminate the 'negative impact of the Biden administration' and also blame her scandals on Biden. However, with only 5 days left until the U.S. election, Harris's self-saving efforts may be too late; she is really unlikely to become the President of the United States! #BabyMarvin Contract address f9c7
