President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline is becoming more apparent, putting his political future in jeopardy. The media has started to shine a spotlight on this issue, leading many to speculate about Vice President Kamala Harris possibly taking his place on the ticket to face off against former President Donald Trump in the upcoming election.
Despite the growing calls for her to step up, Harris has been quick to dismiss these suggestions. She remains outwardly loyal to Biden, emphasizing his resilience and fighting spirit in the face of adversity. However, this has not stopped rumors within the Democratic Party that Harris and her team are silently preparing for the possibility of her assuming the top spot on the ticket.

Harris’s recent comments about the election being the most critical in a lifetime have added fuel to the fire, as many view her as positioning herself for a potential elevation to the presidential candidacy. This shift in focus towards Harris marks a significant change for the party, especially considering her low polling numbers prior to the recent developments surrounding Biden’s performance and health.
The White House has been working overtime to dispel any notions of Biden stepping down before the election, despite growing pressure from within the party for him to do so. Calls for Harris to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Biden from office have also been circulating, further complicating the situation.
As the days unfold, it remains uncertain whether Biden will forge ahead with his presidential bid against Trump. With each passing moment, the likelihood of him remaining in the race appears increasingly slim, leaving the Democratic Party in a state of flux as they navigate these turbulent waters towards the November election.
