California Governor Gavin Newsom, a key surrogate for President Biden’s re-election campaign, has staunchly defended Biden’s cognitive abilities amid growing calls within the Democratic Party for the president to end his re-election bid. Newsom, who has been actively campaigning for Biden, dismissed the concerns as coming from a small minority and emphasized Biden’s unwavering commitment to the race. He also dismissed rumors about him potentially replacing Biden as a distraction fueled by conservative media.

Republican Senator Marco Rubio expressed concerns about a potential Kamala Harris-Gavin Newsom ticket, highlighting the constitutional restriction on having both the president and vice president from the same state.

Meanwhile, Newsom, a top Biden surrogate, continues campaigning for the president in key battleground states.
Sen. Bernie Sanders expressed his continued support for President Biden in the 2024 election despite concerns over his performance in the recent debate with former President Trump. Sanders acknowledged Biden’s age and potential mental fitness issues but emphasized the importance of policy over personal attributes, advocating for Biden’s economic agenda.
With mounting pressure on President Biden to step aside in the 2024 election, Vice President Kamala Harris emerges as a potential successor. While her early tenure faced criticism, recent developments including her stance on abortion rights and her appeal to young voters have boosted her standing. While some polls suggest she could outperform Biden against Trump, her ability to win over moderate Democrats and independents remains a concern. Despite fundraising challenges, her prosecutorial background could prove advantageous in a head-to-head debate against Trump. However, she faces escalating attacks from Republicans highlighting her perceived far-left leanings and questioning her qualifications.
President Joe Biden’s age has become a source of concern following a string of gaffes, bizarre statements, and on-stage confusion.

President Biden has dismissed concerns about his cognitive abilities, attributing his disastrous debate performance to a ‘bad night’ and ‘exhaustion.’ However, mounting speculation and pressure from within his own party are raising questions about his fitness for office. Democrats are increasingly worried that Biden’s performance could jeopardize their chances in the 2024 election.
Former President Donald Trump has distanced himself from the Heritage Foundation’s ‘Project 2025,’ a conservative blueprint for a future Republican administration, calling it ‘absolutely ridiculous and abysmal.’ Trump’s disavowal comes as the Biden campaign and Democrats have targeted the project in their attacks on Trump’s candidacy, linking it to a potential ‘second American Revolution.’
