Trump's Potential Running Mate: Marco Rubio
Donald Trump is considering Marco Rubio, the Republican senator from Florida, as his running mate for the upcoming presidential election. If selected, Rubio would make history as the first Latino vice presidential candidate. Rubio's Cuban-American heritage and fluency in Spanish could potentially mobilize Latino voters, a demographic that has shown increasing support for Trump since the 2020 election. While Rubio's presence on the ballot could attract Latinos who might otherwise stay home, it remains uncertain whether his heritage will translate into votes, given his fluctuating political stances and past criticisms of Trump.
Biden's Faltering Campaign and Potential Replacement
Joe Biden's performance in a recent TV debate against Donald Trump has raised concerns within the Democratic Party. The incumbent president appeared uncertain and confused, leading to a significant drop in his poll numbers. Some Democrats are now contemplating the possibility of replacing Biden as the party's candidate for the 2024 election. A snap poll by Date for Progress revealed that Vice President Kamala Harris is the preferred alternative, followed by California Governor Gavin Newsom. However, replacing Biden would be a complex process, as delegates pledged to him in the primaries would need to be convinced to support another candidate. Despite the growing concerns, Biden has shown no intention of withdrawing from the race.
