2024 US Presidential Election: Will Joe Biden replace Kamala Harris with Hillary Clinton as his running mate?
Joe Biden replace Kamala Harris with former First Lady Hilary Clinton? This question is looming large on the Democrats, the voters as well as the US political system. This has become particularly important in the wake of the increasing number of incidents that raise questions about the cognitive health of the president. The debate was once again triggered after US President appeared to lose his way during a G-7 event in the Italian city of Apulia. Joe Biden Biden wandered off and started a conversation with an officer who was packing a bag. The embarrassing situation came to such a pass that Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni came forward and redirected the US president to his place among the other leaders.
