Democratic Representative Hillary Scholten of Michigan has joined a growing number of House Democrats in calling for President Joe Biden to step aside from the presidential race. Scholten is now the 10th House Democrat to make this request, citing the need for a new leader to step up for the good of democracy.
In a statement released by her office, Scholten expressed her belief that it is time for President Biden to step aside and allow a new leader to take his place. This call comes amidst increasing pressure on the Biden administration over various issues, including the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, economic challenges, and foreign policy decisions.
While President Biden has not responded directly to Scholten's statement, the growing chorus of calls for him to step aside raises questions about the future of his presidency. The White House has yet to issue an official statement regarding these calls from within the Democratic Party.
It remains to be seen how President Biden and his administration will address these calls for him to step aside. As the midterm elections approach, the Democratic Party faces internal divisions over the leadership and direction of the party.
Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story as more House Democrats weigh in on the issue and as President Biden considers his next steps in response to these calls.
