Today is the day President Joe Biden will look to propel himself front and center of the national consciousness as July 4 celebrations are marked across the country.
Given the awkward days that have followed the octogenarian’s dismal showing in the first presidential debate he has little choice but to fight on or simply resign and walk away.
Independence Day has therefore been chosen as a relaunch moment to quickly reassure the public he is still up to the job as support coalesces around the Vice President Kamala Harris to replace him in the November election.
Reuters reports Harris is the top alternative if he decides not to continue his reelection campaign, according to seven senior sources at the Biden campaign, the White House and the Democratic National Committee with knowledge of current discussions on the topic.

Biden, who would be 86 if and when his second term ends, has a long list of events planned for the next week to counter that narrative and prove to his doubters he still has what it takes to stay in the highest office in the land and it all begins on Independence Day.
The president will host families at the annual July 4 festivities at the White House on Thursday.
Then follows an interview on ABC News for Friday before flying to Wisconsin the same day for a campaign rally with supporters.
