Will Kamala Harris be named as the Democratic Party's nominee for president following a campaign leak that has harmed Joe Biden?

The pressure on President Biden to resign, caused by leaks from Democratic leaders and the abandonment of party members, became too intense, as it was inevitable.

No incumbent president, regardless of their accomplishments, can run for reelection when donors withdraw support, when nearly two-thirds of Democrats oppose a second term, and when a public call for Joe Must Go is a guaranteed path to media attention.

After Biden endorsed Kamala Harris for the 2024 presidential race, the tectonic plates shifted. Not long after Biden announced his decision to step down, Harris expressed her gratitude for the president's endorsement and stated her intention to earn and win the nomination.

Journalists and commentators swiftly shifted their focus to predicting Harris's potential running mate.

Why did Biden send so many signals that he was staying in the race, including saying he was excited to campaign this week, having his campaign manager make a rare TV appearance to confirm he wasn't dropping out, and having a White House spokesperson refute news stories suggesting otherwise?

At 59, Harris is the youngest candidate in the race against Donald Trump, possessing both strengths and weaknesses.

A week after Trump was nearly assassinated, the latest stunning turn was a president bowing out after all the primary votes have been cast.

At a weekend rally, Trump stated, "I took a bullet for democracy."

Yesterday on "Media Buzz," before Biden's announcement, Kevin Corke in Rehoboth Beach stated that the Democrats would face significant challenges for a long time if a Black woman were not chosen as the vice presidential candidate. The perception of being passed over in the community would be devastating.

Nancy Pelosi is the most responsible for Biden stepping aside, as she privately warned the president and publicly supported allies such as Adam Schiff, before using leaks to the press to make Biden's position untenable.

Neither the former speaker nor Barack Obama has endorsed Harris. Obama stated yesterday that he believed Harris would lose and that there should be a process for deciding the nomination.

The belief that Harris would gain more momentum by defeating someone in a mini-primary rather than appearing as a choice imposed by party bosses may be held by some. Although this may seem undemocratic, most Biden delegates would likely follow the president's lead.

Many journalists err by evaluating Harris' prospects based solely on her current poll standing.

Trump was determined to run against Biden, particularly after the disastrous debate. However, it was also Trump, while cursing Kamala from a golf cart, who predicted he'd be running against her.

Despite a tumultuous first two years, marked by disagreements with the West Wing, the vice president has shown growth in composure and self-assurance in the past year.

Here are her assets and liabilities:

Biden's legislative accomplishments can be attributed to Harris, but she also inherits his failures, such as Afghanistan and the border crisis. Biden delayed taking action on asylum seekers.

Being asked if she was part of a coverup while vouching for the president's mental acuity despite seeing signs of decline is a challenging task.

Despite his efforts, Biden failed to fully capture the nation's attention due to his inner circle's restrictions on media access, including two Super Bowl interviews.

Harris must showcase her ability to convey a message and conduct numerous interviews.

Harris must quickly assemble a team to challenge Trump's well-oiled campaign, regardless of whether another Democrat enters the race.

According to Axios, several top Democrats privately believe that the rising pressure from party congressional leaders and close friends will persuade President Biden to drop out of the presidential race by this weekend. However, deputy campaign manager Quentin Fulks stated that Biden is not wavering on anything and has already made his decision.

According to sources close to President Biden, there is a belief that he may not be able to win the election in November and may have to withdraw from the race, as many anxious members of his party are putting pressure on him.

Some Republicans and conservatives, including National Review, argue that if Biden is unfit to lead a campaign, he is unfit to lead the country and should resign.

Kamala Harris would have a four-month advantage as president if she were elected.
