According to communications expert and political consultant Frank Luntz, some Democrats are starting to question Joseph Biden’s ability to lead the country for the next four years after Donald Trump’s debate performance.
Possible Alternatives
Luntz named five potential candidates who could challenge Trump in the presidential race:
- Gavin Newsom, Governor of California
- Gretchen Whitmer, Governor of Michigan
- Cory Booker, US Senator
- Wes Moore, Governor of Maryland
- Mitch Landrieu, Biden’s advisor
Luntz highlighted that these individuals have the political stature to compete against Trump, especially considering Biden’s lackluster debate performance. The first step towards a new candidate emerging would require Biden to step down from the race, but as of now, it appears Biden has no intentions of doing so.
