U.S. Rep. Ami Bera, D-Calif., recently commented on what he described as a 'little slippage' from President Biden, leading some Democrats to call for him to exit the presidential race. Bera highlighted that internal polls in Senate and battleground House races have not been favorable, prompting concerns within the party.
As a potential alternative, some Democrats have suggested Vice President Kamala Harris run against former President Trump if Biden were to step aside. Bera expressed confidence in Harris, describing her as a tenacious campaigner who is prepared for the job. He also mentioned the possibility of an open process with an abbreviated primary, including town halls, debates, and leading up to the convention, as a way to generate momentum.
