Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene believes that a potential Democratic candidate swap ahead of the election would have minimal impact on former President Trump's presidential aspirations.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican from Georgia, has opined that if President Biden decides to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race and is replaced before the Democratic National Convention, the new candidate would likely have little bearing on former President Donald Trump's chances of reclaiming the White House this November.
Greene's remarks come amid growing calls from within the Democratic Party for Biden to step aside, with California Rep. Adam Schiff recently joining the chorus of traditional allies urging the president to pass the mantle.

"I definitely think we're going to see [Democrats] try to push him out, and we'll see who they replace them with," said Greene, speaking to Fox News Digital from the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. "I think that's important for Republicans to understand the moment that this is happening."
Greene emphasized that Republicans have the momentum on their side following the RNC and that the race is far from over. She believes that any Democratic candidate would be saddled with the baggage of the Biden administration's record, making it challenging for them to connect with voters.

"No matter who they put at the top of the ticket, that candidate has to run with the job record that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have brought the several past years because Democrats are fully aligned behind those policies," Greene said.
The representative also pointed to recent events, such as the assassination attempt on Trump and the ongoing border crisis, as factors galvanizing support for the Republican Party.

"I think America really came to one mindset and got resolved behind President Trump and behind the Republican Party after seeing him almost assassinated on Saturday," Greene stated. "It's a moment that everyone will always remember where they were when that happened, similar to 9/11."
Despite the pressure from within his own party, Biden has so far resisted calls to withdraw from the race. His campaign has repeatedly stated that he is and will remain the Democratic nominee.

However, speculation persists that Biden is reconsidering his position, especially in light of his recent COVID-19 diagnosis. In a recent interview with BET, Biden indicated that he would step down if doctors advised him of any significant medical condition.
"If I had some medical condition that emerged, if somebody, if doctors came to me and said, you got this problem and that problem," Biden said.

As the 2024 campaign enters its final stretch, the possibility of a Democratic candidate swap remains a topic of intense debate within political circles. It remains to be seen whether Biden will ultimately decide to stay in the race or whether the Democrats will choose to field a different candidate against former President Trump.
