During the first televised debate on June 27 between current President Biden and former President Trump in 2024, Biden's poor performance has sparked calls within the Democratic Party for him to withdraw. If Biden does not voluntarily withdraw, the party faces significant challenges in changing candidates and the process may lead to chaos. With the Democratic National Convention scheduled from August 19 to 22 in Chicago, Biden's lackluster debate performance has raised speculation of a potential candidate switch. If Biden were to withdraw, possible replacements include Vice President Harris, Governor Newsom of California, and Governor Whitmer of Michigan, although none have expressed intention to challenge Biden directly. The party is facing the prospect of a contested convention, where delegates and party leaders would need to negotiate and potentially go through multiple rounds of voting to select a candidate if no one secures a majority of votes.
