BTN News: Last week’s presidential debate made many people feel worried. Some even cried after watching it. CNN’s coverage after the debate showed that many people were unhappy, including commentator Van Jones. He said Joe Biden’s performance was very disappointing.
Joe Biden’s Debate Performance Raises Concerns About His Age and Energy
Joe Biden has done a lot for the country. But his debate performance was seen as very bad. Many people now worry about his age and energy. Some think he should step down. Financial Times’ live blog predicted this. Many commentators, like those from The Atlantic and Financial Times, say it would be patriotic for Biden to step down.
Traditional Convention Could Bring New Energy to the Democratic Party
Many people now call for a traditional convention. This could bring new energy to the race. The race has been dull so far. A convention could show the future of the Democratic Party beyond Biden. It would also show a contrast to the Republican Party.
Open Convention Does Not Mean the End of Biden’s Economic Policies
A convention does not mean Biden’s policies will end. His policies have helped the economy recover. It is important to keep these policies. But we need candidates who can connect with workers and swing states. Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom are good politicians. But they may not be the best to challenge Donald Trump. People like Gina Raimondo or Gretchen Whitmer might be better.
An Open Convention Could Protect Biden’s Legacy and Highlight Other Leaders
An open convention could discuss and protect Biden’s legacy. It could also highlight leaders like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. Candidates like Amy Klobuchar, Cory Booker, Chris Murphy, and Josh Shapiro support Biden’s policies. They could bring new energy to the party. Kamala Harris could take an important role, like Attorney General. She could use her strengths to pursue justice.
Conclusion
The debate has started an important talk about the Democratic Party’s future. A convention could show strong candidates who can keep Biden’s achievements and connect with voters. As politics change, the party must adapt and present a united front for the challenges ahead.
