Trump wishes for Biden to stay in presidential race
(MENAFN) According to the Washington Post, Republican frontrunner Donald trump is hoping that his rival, United States President Joe Biden, will continue his candidacy following a widely criticized performance in a recent televised debate. The Post, citing anonymous sources, indicates that Democrats have been thrown into turmoil over Biden's perceived inadequacies during the debate, raising doubts about his ability to sustain his campaign or serve another term.
The fallout from Biden's debate performance has reportedly prompted discussions among Democrats about potentially replacing him with another candidate. Despite the uncertainty, Trump's campaign is preparing for scenarios where Biden may not be the nominee, with insiders revealing that they are anticipating facing a different opponent in the upcoming election.
David Axelrod, a prominent Democratic strategist, conveyed to the Post that Trump's camp appears keen for Biden to remain in the race, viewing him as vulnerable and favoring their current strategic position. However, opinions among Republicans, as cited by Taylor Budowich of the pro-Trump MAGA Inc. political action committee, suggest readiness to exploit Biden's debate weaknesses in future campaign ads.
Trump's campaign spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, affirmed their confidence in defeating any Democratic candidate linked to Biden, emphasizing their preparedness to capitalize on perceived vulnerabilities within the Democratic Party.
