President Joe Biden is set to be the Democratic nominee at the convention, but some are questioning if he should step down. One pollster, Nate Silver, suggests Biden should consider resigning from the ticket if he continues to struggle. This has caused concern among Democrats as they prepare for a crucial election.
The recent poll showed that independent candidates like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Jill Stein are impacting Biden’s chances in swing states, giving former President Donald Trump a lead in key battlegrounds. Trump’s lead has grown because of these additional candidates, causing worry among Democrats about the upcoming election.
If Biden is still struggling in August he needs to consider stepping aside.
It's not a great situation for Ds either way, but you have to do due diligence on the question. It's an important election, obviously. It shouldn't be taboo to talk about. https://t.co/JaJvtLFuQt

Nate Silver pointed out that Biden’s decision to limit the number of debates with Trump is concerning. Silver believes that more debates would bring more uncertainty and volatility to the election, which is crucial when a candidate is behind in the polls. Limiting debates could be a bad sign for Biden’s campaign and may impact his chances of winning in November.
This news highlights the challenges facing Biden and the Democratic Party as they head into the election. Independent candidates and limitations on debates could hinder Biden’s campaign and ultimately impact the outcome of the election. It is important for voters to stay informed and consider all aspects of the candidates before making a decision at the polls.
