Critics argue that Biden&#8217;s frequent mistakes and declining popularity could hinder\u200c Harris&#8217;s chances as\u2062 she runs for office, with some Democrats expressing that his presence remains a liability. Harris, while defending her experience alongside Biden, acknowledges she plans to bring her own \u200cideas to the presidency.<\/p>\n<p>On the Republican side, House leadership elections \u2062are set \u2064for November 13, influenced by the outcomes of the \u2064upcoming\u200c Election Day. Current Speaker Mike Johnson, backed by former President Trump, is vying for leadership, but \u200dfaces dissent from some party members.
