As rumors swirl about the Democrats potentially dropping Joe Biden from the Presidential Race, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy chimed in, pointing out that the sentiment of ‘anyone but Biden’ has been circulating for over a year. However, the real question that arises is ‘what’s next?’
Ramaswamy shared on social media, “The later the Dems make the switch, the more advantageous it actually is for them.”

Many experts have been predicting that Biden’s time may be up, but the focus should shift to what unfolds in the next few months. Ramaswamy suggests that the longer the Democrats wait to make a change, the better it could be for their chances. Here’s why:
There will be an initial ‘honeymoon phase’ of 3-4 months where the public, influenced by media coverage, could easily embrace any new nominee presented as Biden’s replacement. This period could bring a sense of relief akin to that of a prisoner rescued from torment.
The Democrats’ strategy would ideally involve holding the election during this honeymoon phase, avoiding intense scrutiny of the new candidate. Each day that passes without a switch until late August works in their favor. While conventional wisdom may suggest that late swapping is chaotic, the current narrative proves otherwise.
For the GOP, the best defense against this risk is to present a clear vision of their own regardless of who the Democrats put forward next.
Emphasizing individual, family, nation, and faith over superficial identifiers like race, gender, and climate, Ramaswamy points out that promoting national pride and American exceptionalism resonates strongly across varied demographics. This, he believes, is the key to victory and preserving the nation’s values.
A lot of geniuses are coming out of the woodwork to predict that it won’t be Biden, but that’s been obvious for over a year. The real question is what’s going to happen in the next 4 months. Follow the incentives: the later the Dems make the switch, the more advantageous it…

Biden Affirms Commitment to Race
Amid mounting pressure following a disappointing debate performance against Donald Trump, Joe Biden’s spokeswoman reaffirmed that the President has no intention of backing out of the White House race.
Post-debate anxiety has unsettled Democrats, with internal discussions on potentially replacing Biden intensified by Trump’s expanding lead in polls.
Reports from sources like The New York Times and CNN hinted at Biden’s concerns about reassuring the public of his capability, but White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre dismissed these claims, asserting that Biden remains steadfast.
“The President is resolute and remains in the race,” she affirmed to the press.
During a conversation with campaign aides, Biden affirmed his determination to see the race through.
“I am committed until the end, and with unified Democratic support, we will emerge victorious. Just as we defeated Donald Trump in 2020, we will do so again in 2024,” he declared, according to a close campaign source.
