Democrats Talking About Replacing Joe Biden | Who Could Replace Biden As The Democratic Nominee?
Calls from within the Democratic Party for a potential replacement for President Joe Biden are growing following his underwhelming performance in last week’s first presidential debate against former President Donald Trump.
While a change at the top of the ticket is not impossible, it would require Biden to step aside, something his campaign has made clear will not happen.
A switch in candidates carries significant risks, especially with the November election less than 150 days away and the Democratic National Convention in August.
A change is almost certainly contingent on Biden himself deciding to step aside and release the pledged delegates he has collected so far.
Biden, 81, holds 3,894 of 3,937 delegates, according to The Associated Press.
If he releases them, a brokered convention could take place, where delegates would vote to select a new nominee.
