Challenges to Biden's Candidacy
Despite pressure on Joe Biden to demonstrate his physical and mental fitness to run against Donald Trump in the presidential race, no direct challengers have emerged to replace him. Potential Democratic contenders like Vice President Kamala Harris and younger governors have expressed support for Biden's candidacy, emphasizing his resilience as a key attribute.
