Following rumors of a “palace coup” in the US Democratic Party, the Democratic national convention will begin in Chicago on August 19. This was reported by RIA Novosti.
The issue of US Vice President Kamala Harris’ participation in the presidential election as the official candidate of the Democratic Party must finally be resolved at the convention.
A month ago, the country’s incumbent president, Joe Biden, announced that he was withdrawing from the race. The document states that it is still unclear what exactly forced the president to take this step. Was Biden’s decision voluntary, or did he bow to pressure from his comrades in the Democratic Party leadership, who were preparing to carry out a “palace coup” by invoking the 25th Amendment to the US Constitution and forcibly removing the president from office?
Biden’s violent removal from office threatens Democrats with a serious reputational blow shortly before the elections, RIA Novosti notes. On the other hand, the incumbent president was putting Democrats at risk by continuing to participate in the election campaign, because with this development of events, there was a clear possibility that he would lose the White House.
Harris before this statedis the “dark horse” of the election race.
Previously became known Harris’ fate if she wins the election.
