Following the disastrous CNN debate with Republican nominee and former President Donald Trump, demands for President Biden to step down intensified. Democratic supporters were increasingly concerned about Biden's ability to defeat Trump in the November polls. Many questioned whether Biden could effectively counter Trump's attacks and present a compelling vision for the future. The debate performance heightened fears that Biden's campaign might struggle to galvanize voters and maintain party unity. As uncertainty grew, pressure mounted on the Democratic leadership to consider alternative strategies. Ultimately, Biden's decision to withdraw and endorse Kamala Harris aimed to unify the party and strengthen their chances against Trump in the upcoming election.
