Donald Trump is gearing up for his first campaign rally on Saturday since surviving an assassination attempt, marking a stark contrast to President Joe Biden who remains isolated at home with COVID-19.

As Trump prepares to rally supporters in Michigan alongside his vice presidential running mate, JD Vance, Biden's team continues to defend the president despite growing pressure from within the Democratic Party for him to consider stepping aside.

Amon Biden's loyalists include Michigan Senator Debbie Stabenow who has publicly supported the president, dismissing Trump and Vance's efforts as attempts to "rewrite history" and feign concern for working people.

Despite these endorsements, speculation about Biden's future is mounting, with some senior Democratic lawmakers and donors expressing concern that his candidacy could jeopardize not only the White House but also control of Congress.

Is VP Harris a potential successor?

As discussions about a potential Biden exit increase, Vice President Kamala Harris is seen as a leading potential successor.

In an interview with MSNBC, Senator Elizabeth Warren said that "Joe Biden is our nominee" and "he has a really big decision to make.

"But what gives me a lot of hope right now is that if President Biden decides to step back, we have Vice President Kamala Harris, who is ready to step up, to unite the party, to take on Donald Trump, and to win in November."

Powerful comeback

Trump, buoyed by recent favorable developments including court rulings and his ability to use the assassination attempt to energize his base, is expected to draw large crowds to his Michigan rally.

Supporters, including those who have already begun lining up outside the Van Andel Arena, view Trump's return as a testament to his resilience.

Trump himself has framed the event as a powerful comeback, stating, "I had God on my side," and portraying his survival as a sign of his strengthened position.

In the meantime, Biden's team insists that the president will resume campaigning as soon as it is feasible, though the situation remains fluid and closely watched by both parties.
