Republicans talk about the potential replacement of President Biden in the election
While top Democratic officials are pressuring President Joe Biden to withdraw from the race, Republicans are also discussing who could replace him to face their nominee, former President Donald Trump, in November. VOA correspondent Steve Herman attended the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
One of the calls heard in the Republican National Assembly was "Joe must leave". If President Biden really leaves, after pressure from his own party, which is expected to hold the Democratic National Convention next month, Republicans have their predictions about who can replace him as a candidate.
"Under the rules, if they implement it, it would be Kamala Harris until they go to the convention and there can be an open process," said Lori Klein Corbin, an Arizona member of the Republican National Committee.
This type of process would be an open assembly with more than one round of voting. The last time the Democrats did such a process and it resulted in an election victory was in 1932, when Franklin Roosevelt was elected.
Republicans in Milwaukee had some surprising names for who they think could become the Democratic presidential nominee.
"I think Jill Biden would run. Yes, I think she would run and do better than her husband," says Rochelle Brooks, an alternate delegate to the Republican National Assembly.
She was discussing the various alternatives with another alternative delegate from California.
"Gavin Newsome is another name, after Michelle Obama and Kamala Harris," says Mr. Tran.
Gavin Newsome is the governor of California. Michelle Obama, the wife of former President Barack Obama, has repeatedly stated that she is not interested in becoming a politician. Vice President Kamala Harris is the most likely replacement for President Biden, says Alan Swain, who is running in North Carolina as the Republican candidate for Congress.
"I think because of the finances and the last-minute change, it's probably going to have to be Kamala Harris, who has to pick a number two, which I think is going to be Michigan Governor Whitmer," Mr. Swain says.
The last time an American president decided not to run for a second term was in 1968 with Democrat Lyndon Johnson, while the Vietnam War continued./ VOA
