With only four months left until the decision of the next U.S. president, there are growing calls from Democratic lawmakers and major donors to replace Biden, who had a lackluster performance in the first debate but remains adamant about continuing. CNN reports that Democratic 'big donors' not only prefer current Vice President Harris to succeed but also have a favorable opinion of the Michigan Governor Whitmer, who visited Taiwan twice in recent years. Polls and discussions within the party suggest that switching to a different nominee, such as Harris or Whitmer, may improve the Democrats' chances against Trump, with Harris even outperforming Biden in some polls against Trump by just two percentage points. The potential succession may bring in fresh faces and focuses on key issues like abortion rights and gun control.
