Politics

The U.S. political landscape has undergone a notable shift, as President Joe Biden, who once saw himself as the undisputed Democratic candidate for the November elections, has become a supporting act for his own Vice President, Kamala Harris. As the Democratic convention approaches, Biden finds himself in an unusual and emotional position, with his role reduced to an opening speech at an event that should have been his coronation as the candidate. The convention, scheduled for next week, represents one of the most significant transitions in American politics. At 81 years old, Biden faces a moment of deep reflection and possibly emotional difficulty following his decision to withdraw from the presidential race. This event, considered one of the greatest political upheavals in the recent history of the country, has left many questioning Biden's future and his legacy. The president has promised to support Harris in her new candidacy, aware that her success could positively influence the historical perception of his own presidency. However, the situation has also been the subject of mockery from his former rival, Donald Trump, who has rushed to criticize the fact that Biden does not occupy a prominent place at the convention. Trump, known for his provocative style, has suggested that the lack of attention towards Biden reflects the current president's failure. Despite his apparent resignation, Biden has continued to make public appearances, sometimes with a self-critical tone. At a recent event, he joked about his job search, reflecting his awareness of public perception regarding his current situation. However, he has also hinted at moments of frustration, such as when he admitted that he felt pressured by his own party to withdraw from the race. As Harris prepares to formally accept the nomination at the convention, Biden finds himself in a complicated dilemma: he must deliver an inspiring speech that boosts his vice president's campaign, but he also has to deal with the shadows of his own administration. This pressure becomes even more palpable in light of Trump's imminent reelection, an opponent who does not relent in his quest to return to power. Indeed, the Democratic Party has shown overwhelming support for Biden's decision to withdraw, and the convention is expected to be an event that celebrates the party's new direction. However, there is an underlying concern about how Biden's administration will be remembered and how this will affect Harris's campaign in the coming months. With less than three months until the elections, Kamala Harris faces the challenge of defining her own image and agenda. Her inaugural speech on the economy, which will take place this Friday, will be crucial in outlining her vision and establishing a connection with voters. In this context, Biden's figure can be a double-edged sword: while his support may provide a boost, it can also serve as a constant reminder of the decisions and challenges that his administration has faced. Biden's journey to the convention is, therefore, both a farewell and a celebration. Perhaps, as some analysts suggest, the president may find a kind of peace in this transition, recognizing that his legacy may be better served by witnessing his running mate succeed in the elections. As the convention approaches, attention will focus on both Biden's speech and Harris's performance, marking a new chapter in American Democratic politics. At its core, this role reversal may symbolize a broader evolution within the party, where new voices and perspectives emerge to confront the challenges ahead. Against the backdrop of a polarized nation and an anxious electorate, the convention promises to be a decisive event, where the future of the Democratic Party and the presidential race become inextricably intertwined.
