In 2024, developments failed to reassure many within the party regarding their leaders’ direction and effectiveness.
On August 11, 2026, a photograph depicted cardboard cutouts of Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden at the Racine County Democratic Party headquarters in Kenosha, Wisconsin. This symbolic image reflects the concerns held by the party’s rank and file members.
In an update regarding the health of former President Joe Biden, his son Hunter Biden offered a somber report. Speaking to the BBC on Friday night, he disclosed the severe progression of Biden’s illness.
“The cancer has spread. It’s metastasized into his bones and further,” Hunter Biden stated. “It’s very painful. It’s very debilitating in many respects, but he’s still out there. He’s still doing his thing, that is, he so believes in this country and as long as he’s alive, I’m promising you, he’s going to continue to fight.”
