Despite the overwhelming outrage from voters across the political spectrum at President Joe Biden’s public implosion during his first 2024 presidential debate against former President Donald Trump, Democrats are legally and practically stuck with their incumbent, which is likely by design. The president, who would require only a simple majority of the party delegates to secure the nomination, has already earned 99% of those delegates thanks to a primary season that involves canceled state elections and a top-down media blackout of possible primary challengers.
Even if the party secretly planned to oust Biden after he received the nomination, when the Democratic National Committee has more legal sway over delegates, the $180 million war chest raised by Biden could only go to one other person in the country: Vice President Kamala Harris who polls as poorly as he does.
