A fifth House Democrat has publicly urged President Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential election. Rep. Angie Craig of Minnesota took to social media to express her belief that Biden should step aside for the next generation of leadership.
In her statement, Rep. Craig acknowledged President Biden's good character and lifetime of service but emphasized the need for new leadership to address the high stakes facing the country. She stated, 'There is simply too much at stake to risk a second Donald Trump presidency.'
This call for Biden to step aside comes after his debate performance against former President Trump, which was widely criticized. Rep. Craig's stance aligns with that of other House Democrats, including Reps. Mike Quigley, Lloyd Doggett, Raúl Grijalva, and Seth Moulton, who have also called for Biden to withdraw from the 2024 election.
The growing chorus of voices within the Democratic Party urging Biden to step aside reflects concerns about his ability to secure a second term as President. The debate performance and the perceived need for new leadership have fueled this call for change within the party.
As the discussion around the 2024 election continues to evolve, the Democratic Party faces important decisions about its future direction and leadership. The calls for Biden to step aside signal a desire for fresh perspectives and approaches to address the challenges facing the nation.
