The first presidential debate is done and the aftermath has not been good for the incumbent, Joe Biden.

Some Democrat politicians and operatives reportedly texted CNN commentators with hopes that Mr Biden, 81, would step aside. Some floated the possibility of going to the White House and publicly stating concerns about him remaining as candidate.

But if Mr Biden were to drop out, it would be a free-for-all. There is no official mechanism for him or anyone else in the party to choose his successor, meaning Democrats would be left with an open (Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago from August 19-22.

    Too many articles focusing on replacing Biden when they should be focusing on Trump being a federal convict walking around free.

      Is it too much to ask for the most important office in the world not be held by an old demented man?

      Not enough articles saying why Biden is so unappealing that quite a few people prefer the convict. Physician, heal thyself.
