Former GOP presidential candidate and South Carolina governor Nikki Haley warned Republicans should prepare for a “younger” and more “vibrant” candidate to replace Joe Biden. Haley’s warning follows Biden’s disastrous performance in Thursday night’s debate. “They are going to be smart about it. They’re going to bring somebody younger. They’re going to bring somebody vibrant. They’re going to bring somebody tested,” Haley told The Wall Street Journal, according to Fox News. “This is a time for Republicans to prepare and get ready for what’s to come because there is no way that there will be a surviving Democratic Party if they allow Joe Biden to continue to be the candidate,” she added.

In reference to Biden’s performance, Haley said, “Our enemies just saw that they have between now and Jan. 20 to do whatever it is they want to do.” Haley said in May that despite their contentious primary contest in which both candidates threw personal insults at each other, she planned to vote for Trump in November. She also told the Journal she had reached out to the former president recently and had a “good conversation.” “Mark my words….Biden will not be the Democrat nominee. Republicans, get your guard up!” Haley said Thursday night. Mark my words….Biden will not be the Democrat nominee.

After the debate, Biden himself said: ‘I don’t walk as easily as I used to. I don’t speak as smoothly as I used to. I don’t debate as well as I used to.’ His performance sparked panic among the Democrats with former key Barack Obama adviser David Axelrod saying there was a ‘sense of shock’ in the party and there would be ‘discussions about whether he (Biden) should continue’. Haley insisted that the Democratic party has been left with no other option but to replace the aging president. She told The Journal: ‘What we saw was that Trump was strong, but I don’t even think that mattered because Biden was so amazingly unfit. ‘The way he lost his train of thought, the way he couldn’t grasp topics of what he needed to talk about. After an NBC News report stating Joe Biden will have an emergency meeting with his family to discuss his campaign, there’s speculation he will drop out today (Sunday).

Trump and Biden became their respective party’s presumptive 2024 presidential candidates earlier this year following a string of primary victories, likely setting up a rematch of the fiercely contested 2020 election. Polls have so far shown that the results will be tight as the pair are statistically tied in most surveys or having only marginal leads. A new poll released on Thursday conducted by co/Efficient shows Trump leading Biden in New Jersey with 41 percent versus Biden’s 40 percent, with 13 percent undecided and 7 percent supporting independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. or another third party candidate. The poll, with a sample of 810 likely general election voters in New Jersey, was conducted from June 26 to 27 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.42 percent. According to the poll, Trump is also leading in approval ratings with 45 percent and a disapproval rate of 50 percent, with 5 percent unsure. Meanwhile, Biden received 36 percent approval and a disapproval rate of 56 percent, with 8 percent unsure. X users reacted to the poll: I'm a Mid-Atlantic guy… I do think this is an outlier but the momentum is real. NY, NJ, yes even DE are not the same as CT or RI. Less white, less college educated, and aside from parts of NJ, much more working class, middle income. We aren't exactly "coastal elite". https://t.co/UAws10cOmu — Shigeru Digeru (@ShigeruDigeru) June 28, 2024 Man, if New Jersey goes for Trump in November, it would not be an anomaly. It would be a sign of blowout territory. https://t.co/CNpWx9G86z — Mike LaChance (@MikeLaChance33) June 30, 2024 While this is only one poll, it is yet another state showing significant movement towards Trump. And this is pre-debate. https://t.co/40W2d4eybu — Daniel Kinney (@DanielKinn56030) June 28, 2024 Trump winning the Democrat stronghold would send shockwaves across the political world. Perhaps Trump’s Wildwood rally in May was a preview of what to expect in New Jersey come November? Officials estimated the rally had between 80,000 and 100,000 attendees, which one New Jersey Republican called the “largest political gathering in state history.” New Jersey Trump Rally Expected To Have 80,000 In Attendance, Possibly Largest Political Gathering In State History Per Just the News: Biden is expected to be nominated as the Democratic presidential candidate in August at the Democratic National Convention, though since the debate on Thursday there are increasing calls by politicians and media organizations for him to step down as the candidate. If that were to happen, or if someone challenged Biden at the convention, there are several scenarios that could occur, depending on the circumstances. If, for example, he waits to step down until after he is nominated at the August convention, then it would be up to the members of the Democratic National Committee to choose an alternate candidate, according to U.S. News, The next presidential debate is scheduled to be hosted by ABC News in September.
