President Donald Trump responded to rampant speculation that President Joe Biden will be replaced or step down after Thursday’s debate performance.
Speaking to Fox News on Friday morning, the former president was asked whether he believes the incumbent president will be the Democrat Party’s nominee after the debate.
“Yes, I think he will be the nominee,” former President Trump said.
When he was asked about speculation that President Biden could be replaced as the nominee, he said that he doesn’t believe that will happen. He also indicated that he would have defeated anyone who was on the stage with him on Thursday evening.
Another candidate “wouldn’t have done any better. No one else would have been better,” former President Trump said.

After the debate, President Biden told reporters at a Waffle House in Atlanta that “I think we did well” and said he “was suffering from an illness. I am sick.”
His campaign and several Democrat Party officials—including California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)—have signaled to reporters that the president doesn’t need to be replaced and suggested that those claims are an overreaction.
A Biden campaign co-chair, Mitch Landrieu, told CNN after the debate that it’s unlikely President Biden will be replaced or step down, although he conceded that the president’s performance was sub-par.

Great news.
Biden must know that Trump will be in jail or assassinated so is no real threat.
Run Joe, Run!
If Kamala Harris had half a brain she would invoke the 25th right now while the iron is hot, she will never get any closer unless old Joe keels over dead.
President Retard represents the libtard party as well as anyone possibly could
‘”No one else would have been better,” former President Trump said.’
I love Trump, and I get it that he’s selling it here, but literally anyone not in demntia care, even stroke-era Fetterman, would have done better than Biden last night.

Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit. Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November. http
That’s called leadership, people.
Joe did pretty good, he was just having an off night because of the sniffles.
Hang in there joe, we love you.
Notice he didn’t specify which candidate was which. “BREAKING: OBAMA BACKS TRUMP!” lol
That is still a pretty good possibility. Harris can afford to wait and do nothing.
She does not have enough support to do anything else.
Yeah Biden’s sick alright, sick in the head..so let me get this straight, Biden is supposedly sick with a “Cold” yet he’s going to waffle houses and breathing on everyone
“Biden must know that Trump will be in jail or assassinated so is no real threat.”
The CIA, with the FBI, has tried everything and nothing has worked so they are down to their last option which is assassination.
The Deep State apparatus understand the great consequences with this action, but they really don’t care.
Biden wants to die in the WH and get the bid send off like JFK rather then setting his garage in Jill’s Corvette and day dreaming of what he wanted to be.
The Democrats CAN’T replace Biden, that would be a signal of being wrong, and their egos will not allow that
Either they keep Biden and lose or they replace Biden and lose even harder
Joe would step aside if Jill were the new nominee.
Jill would not fight it (duh, but important).
The Dems have done similar before (Carnahan)
The sympathy factor.
She's a hell of a doctor.
She has no known political baggage (??).
Name recognition
I wouldn't want Trump to face her.
I think PDJT is right.
The dems have done it to themselves, and stuck a prickly pear up the rear of the US to boot.
The election is 4 months from now. Who is supposed to step up as a “replacement”? Whoever that may be, at least 1/2 of the dem base will rebel. Violently.
Who would want to run now since PDJT’s election is, as best as any candidate in history, assured? Who wants to take that loss?
Replacing hims now also draws a big, fat magnifying glass on the dems who pushed him onto the US public as their standard bearer. The dems didn’t run any competition and their “primaries” were nothing more than an annoinment. They knew biden was incompentent and trotted him out anyway. Beside the embarrassment, who the F would trust them now?
No, the dems will continue their game of “pretend”, lose to PDJT, and pin their hopes to ‘28.
He’s doing what RBG did. The left never learns.
THe DemonRat Party has no bench. No good relief pitchers. Cero, ziltch, nada.
