However, with the unlikelihood of finding a replacement for Biden within the party due to the primaries being concluded, it's impossible for Democrats to switch candidates just months before the upcoming election. Biden has already declared that he will not withdraw, and with the National Democratic Convention scheduled for August 19th to officially nominate him as the presidential candidate, any potential changes to this scenario appear highly improbable.

On June 28, 2024, the Nationalist Party's 'Blue Hawk' campaign allowed the public to vote on which Green Committee member they most wanted to recall. The current recall threshold in the Public Office Election and Recall Act has been criticized for being too low, prompting Nationalist Party lawmaker Hsu Yu-chen to propose amendments that require recall approval votes to exceed the number of votes obtained by the recalled person in the election. This move has been questioned by Democratic Progressive Party lawmakers who feel this would raise the recall threshold for public officials. The Nationalist Party group criticized the Green Committee members for maliciously guiding and engaging in cognitive warfare. They emphasized that the proposed amendment aims to make the current recall system fairer and more rational to prevent situations where recall approval votes are lower than the number of votes obtained in the election. Additionally, the amendment seeks to prevent retaliatory recalls for officials who have been in office for less than a year, aiming to safeguard social stability and election fairness. The Nationalist Party group urged all sectors to positively consider the amendments to the Public Office Election and Recall Act, emphasizing the importance of rational political discourse in Taiwan and the need to address the election and recall system. They reminded Democratic Progressive Party lawmakers that they are elected as 'representatives of the people,' not as representatives of a party or mere rubber stamps for the executive branch, stressing the importance of understanding grassroots voices before engaging in political operations. The Nationalist Party group announced that next week they will review drafts related to the amendment of the Public Office Election and Recall Act and hold a public hearing to listen to various opinions to openly discuss how to correct the current unreasonable aspects of the recall system.
