Hawaii Governor Josh Green, a Democrat, recently shared insights from a meeting with President Biden and other Democrat governors regarding the president's potential re-election decision. Governor Green indicated that President Biden may decide on whether to continue in the race for a second term within the next few days.
The discussions arose following concerns about President Biden's re-election campaign, particularly after a debate performance that was perceived as shaky against former President Trump. Governor Green, who has a longstanding relationship with the president, mentioned that Biden would likely assess the winnability of the race and the advice from his inner circle before making a final decision.
If President Biden were to step down from the race, Governor Green suggested that the president should have the authority to choose his replacement on the ticket. He expressed confidence that Vice President Kamala Harris would be a favored choice among Democrats to succeed Biden as the presidential candidate.
Highlighting Harris's qualifications, Governor Green emphasized her strong leadership qualities, legal background as California's former attorney general, and her status as an African American woman. He stated that Harris possesses exceptional credentials that make her a suitable candidate for the presidency.
Despite speculations about his potential withdrawal, President Biden, 81, has reiterated his commitment to staying in the race. In a recent interview, he affirmed his intention to continue seeking a second term as the President of the United States.
