“It’s a great relief,” Reed Brody, former deputy prosecutor for the State of New York and former leader of the Democratic Party, reacted on franceinfo on Sunday July 21 after the announcement by American President Joe Biden to renounce his candidacy in the presidential election next November against Donald Trump.
“Joe Biden was going to lose to Donald Trump”according to Reed Brody. “Finally, Joe Biden, who was in denial, accepted the reality that he could not win”he greeted. “We finally have the opportunity to prevent Donald Trump from returning to the White House, which is what we have been waiting for months or months.”
The former Democratic Party official spoke about the possible candidacy of US Vice President Kamala Harris, whom Joe Biden has now announced he supports: “I won’t hide from you that it wasn’t my preference, but at this point, the most important thing is to unite behind a candidate who can win, and I think that will be Kamala Harris.”
“I had, with others, called for mini primaries (…) but I think that time is too short now, there are only a few weeks left.” “I don’t think another heavyweight is going to face Kamala Harris now, so I’m happy to support her to prevent the return of Donald Trump.” “The whole physiognomy of this election is now going to be very different.”Reed Brody concluded.
