‘Biden buys time’

What will be the result? International Analyst Francisco Belaunde Matossian considering Biden is buying time. He insisted that as time went on, it would become harder for Democrats to see the possibility of seeking an alternative candidate.

“The Democratic convention will begin on August 19, and the days are passing by. Biden He has already said he will be a candidate no matter what,” Belaunde commented.

“You never know what’s going to happen, but as the days go by Biden Strengthen the inner Democratic Party“, he stressed.

However, Belaunde also explained After the debate, the president was vulnerable.

“The problem for Biden is that he is at the mercy of things similar to what happened to him in the debate.and then this situation will increase doubts with implications for his candidacy. A new investigation could also emerge that would put you at a lower level than you are now. This is your big problem. He knows that time is on his side, but, I repeat, he is at the mercy of anything that could happen to him, in which case they will again make the call to replace him even more forcefully, ”said Belaunde.

“Nancy Pelosi and other congressional leaders are afraid to say directly that he should resign, and from what I understand, most Democrats in polls think he should resign,” Belaunde said.

under such circumstances, Trump’s victory in November can now be taken for granted? Belaunde doesn’t think so. “It’s too early to say Trump is ready win the election. It’s true that he’s in a better position than Biden, but between now and November there could be a massive mobilization in favor of the Democrats. So it’s a bit hasty to say that the Republicans are already the winners,” he noted.
