Former President Donald Trump has made controversial remarks about President Joe Biden, claiming in a leaked video that Biden is quitting the presidential race following a poor performance in last week's debate. The video, posted on Trump’s Truth Social platform, shows him making these comments from a golf buggy. Trump also criticized Vice President Kamala Harris, describing her as "so f*****g bad."
Biden's performance in the debate has faced widespread criticism, leading to concerns about his health and calls for him to step down from the upcoming election. Despite these issues, Biden has reaffirmed his commitment to continue his campaign, stating, "I'm not leaving. I'm in this race to the end."
In the video, Trump told an unidentified individual, "He just quit, you know - he's quitting the race... and that means we have Kamala (Harris)." He sarcastically added that Harris is "so pathetic, she's so f****** bad," and questioned her ability to deal with international leaders like Putin and the Chinese president.
During a recent TV debate, Biden admitted he nearly fell asleep due to a hectic travel schedule, contributing to a lackluster performance that has caused alarm within the Democratic Party. This has fueled speculation about whether the party might seek to replace him. Concerns over Biden’s mental fitness have been growing, following several instances where he appeared to freeze during public appearances.
Despite the mounting pressure, Biden remains publicly resolute, recently holding a virtual meeting with 24 governors to reassure them of his capability to fulfill his presidential duties. If Biden were to step down, Vice President Kamala Harris, along with California Governor Gavin Newsom and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, are considered potential contenders. However, Biden's nomination is expected to be confirmed at the party's convention in August.
