However, many of\u2063 them have expressed concerns about who he may face\u2064 on the ballot\u2063 come November.<\/p>\n<p>As voters raise concerns about President Joe Biden&#8217;s age \u200dand political viability, some Republicans are openly suggesting that he may\u200b not last long\u2064 enough to remain the Democratic\u200d Party&#8217;s nominee by the time they cast their ballots.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can&#8217;t see how that&#8217;s possible,\u200b but I never saw him being president,&#8221; said Amy,\u2062 50, a CPAC attendee visiting from Delaware. &#8220;I couldn&#8217;t see \u200bhow that \u200cwas possible, and \u200cit\u2063 happened.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t\u200c know if he makes \u200bit to tomorrow,&#8221; added Ann, 40, from\u2064 Texas.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The possibility that Biden would not\u200c be the nominee took \u200bcenter stage \u2062during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cpac-2022-kicks-off\/\" title=\"CPAC 2022 Kicks Off\">annual conservative gathering<\/a>, especially \u2064after one panel of CPAC\u2064 speakers theorized a plan by the Democratic Party to replace the incumbent on the 2024 ticket.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s \u2063not clear who the party would\u2064 use in lieu of Biden, but the \u200cpanel \u2062named two top contenders: former first lady Michelle\u2063 Obama and Vice President Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;This is what I said two years ago \u2063when I first put this\u2063 out there,\u200d that we need to be prepared for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/uk-may-ease-ccp-virus-lockdown-from-march-foreign-secretary-says\/\" title=\"UK May Ease CCP Virus Lockdown From March, Foreign Secretary Says\">worst-case scenario<\/a>, and Michelle Obama is the worst-case scenario because\u2064 she poses the most threatening challenge to President Trump,&#8221; said \u2064conservative commentator Monica Crowley. \u2063&#8221;They could make the switch, and\u2062 they \u2064could position\u2064 Michelle as the \u2063reluctant candidate who really didn&#8217;t want to do this but needs to do\u2062 it \u200dto save her \u2064country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The panel also surmised that Biden could \u200cstep \u200bdown from the presidency altogether, making Harris\u2063 the first \u200cfemale president and giving her\u2063 a boost as\u2062 a historic incumbent.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I think that, \u200dobviously, if Joe Biden can&#8217;t actually stand trial, he can&#8217;t \u200cbe president of the United\u2063 States,&#8221; \u2063said conservative commentator Larry O&#8217;Connor. \u200c&#8221;He steps down, not just \u200dfrom the\u200d ticket, but he steps down from the White \u200dHouse. Kamala Harris then becomes president of the \u2064United States and runs as a historic figure, our\u2064 first \u2062woman president, and she&#8217;s running as an incumbent from the convention for those 10 weeks.\u2064 Because I don&#8217;t\u2062 see how they get rid of her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Other\u2062 attendees pointed to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/no-labels-uses-day-of-controversy-for-biden-and-trump-to-push-its-campaign\/\" title=\"No Labels seizes Biden and Trump controversy to promote its campaign\">recent special counsel report<\/a> \u2064that \u200chas raised fresh \u2062questions \u2064about Biden&#8217;s \u200ccognitive and mental acuity.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Special Counsel Robert Hur released the long-awaited findings \u2063of his investigation into whether Biden mishandled classified \u200bdocuments after leaving the White House\u200c in 2017. However, the report did not result in\u200b criminal\u2062 charges,\u200d noting that was partly due \u200cto Biden&#8217;s ability to portray himself as &#8220;a \u200dsympathetic, well<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hur-report-portrays-biden-as-elderly-man-with-poor-memory\/\" title=\"Report depicts Biden as 'aging individual' with 'impaired recollection\">-meaning elderly man<\/a> \u200cwith a poor memory.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The DOJ \u2062just said that he \u200dwasn&#8217;t competent \u200cenough to stand trial.\u200d So how can\u2062 he be\u200d competent \u2064to be our president?&#8221; CPAC\u200b attendee Roberta Curtin\u2063 said. &#8220;They&#8217;re \u2062going to pull him\u200c out. Kamala is going \u200dto\u2063 be president until November, but at the [Democratic National Convention], Michelle Obama&#8217;s gonna swoop in and they&#8217;re gonna make her the nominee. And then that\u2063 way, she \u200bonly has to campaign for\u2062 a couple of \u2062months.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Biden has made\u2062 no\u200b indication he plans to \u2064step down from office, nor has\u200b he suggested he\u2063 would not\u2064 carry out a full\u200d term if he&#8217;s reelected in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Despite\u2063 uncertainty on who Trump may face in November,\u2063 several Republican voters remained confident that the \u2064former president \u2063would\u2062 be victorious.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s up in the air; we have no control over it,&#8221; said\u2062 Suzanne\u2064 Gallagher, national director of the Parents Rights in Education, when asked about\u200c who the Democratic nominee would be. &#8220;But we&#8217;ll deal with that when the decision is made by the Democrats.
