Comment on “Debate ‘Panic within the Democratic Party,’ Biden’s Vulnerabilities Laid Bare, Replacement Discussions Begin” [in Japanese]
On June 28, 2024, a comment of Professor Maiko Ichihara of the Graduate School of Law on the Asahi Shimbun article, “Debate ‘Panic within the Democratic Party,’ Biden’s Vulnerabilities Laid Bare, Replacement Discussions Begin” was published. This article discusses the concerns within the Democratic Party regarding President Biden’s age, following a televised debate during the U.S. presidential election. Professor Ichihara noted that the criticism of Biden’s performance in the debate was due to his age becoming a focal point and his lowering the level of discussion to that of former President Trump. She expressed hope that the Democratic Party will be able to effectively reorganize itself in the time remaining before November.
