Former President Donald Trump and his new running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, will campaign together in Michigan on Saturday. Meanwhile, President Biden remains defiant amid increasing calls for him to drop out.
Trump and Vance will rally in Grand Rapids, marking their first joint campaign event since their nomination at the Republican National Convention. This comes as Biden faces growing pressure from within his party to step aside, despite his public determination to stay in the race.
Biden, recovering from COVID-19 at his home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, views the calls for his withdrawal as part of a coordinated effort by former allies, including Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi has privately expressed doubts about Biden's chances and has suggested a competitive primary if he exits, rather than supporting Vice President Kamala Harris as the nominee.
As more Democrats publicly urge Biden to drop out, Republicans are concerned that such a move could impact their strategy for winning control of Congress. Trump's convention speech, watched by over 25 million people, combined calls for unity with his usual divisive rhetoric, including false claims about the 2020 election.
Here are the key points:
- Vice President Harris reassured Democratic donors but some found the meeting unconvincing.
- More Democrats, including Representative Mark Takano and Senator Sherrod Brown, are calling for Biden to end his campaign.
- Democratic Party officials are pushing for an early virtual roll-call vote to nominate Biden before the convention next month.
