All The Democratic Lawmakers Calling On Joe Biden To Bow Out Of The 2024 Race
HuffPost
More than 30 congressional Democrats are publicly panicking that he can't defeat Donald Trump and urging the president to "pass the torch."
WASHINGTON – The slow-drip of Democratic lawmakers calling on President Joe Biden to drop his reelection bid continues, to the point where a dam may be about to break.
On Friday, 11 more House members and one more senator urged Biden to step aside amid concerns about his mental acuity and ability to defeat Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in the November election.
In total, more than 30 Democratic lawmakers are publicly pressuring the president to bow out of the race. That’s more 10% of all congressional Democrats.
Democratic lawmakers have been panicking about Biden’s fitness to lead the country, particularly after his disastrous presidential debate performance last month. They point to polls showing him falling behind Trump in the aftermath of that debate, and are worried that a sinking Biden ticket will drag down their races too, potentially handing full control of Congress to Republicans in November.
Biden maintains he’s not going anywhere and is the best candidate to defeat Trump. He’s got the support of at least some in his party to stay atop the ticket, and it is his decision, ultimately, on how to proceed. But the pressure is intensifying on him to pull out, and there’s only a few more weeks until the Democratic National Convention, at which point delegates will cast their votes for the party’s official nominee. In other words, Democrats need to come together and decide what they want to do as a party – and fast.
