Recent reports indicate that a growing number of House Democrats are considering calling on President Biden to step aside due to concerns over his recent debate performance. It is said that at least 25 Democratic lawmakers are prepared to urge Biden to relinquish the Democratic nomination if his performance continues to appear unsteady in the near future.
According to sources within the House Democratic party, moderate Democrats representing competitive districts are facing intense scrutiny and inquiries from constituents regarding Biden's candidacy following his lackluster debate showing last week. This heightened pressure has prompted some lawmakers to contemplate the possibility of Biden withdrawing from the presidential race.
U.S. Representative Lloyd Doggett has emerged as the first congressional Democrat to publicly advocate for Biden's withdrawal from the race. In an interview, Doggett expressed his hope that other Democratic lawmakers would join him in this call.
Reflecting on the situation, Democratic Representative Mike Quigley emphasized the importance of Biden being truthful with himself and recognizing the broader impact of his candidacy not only on his own race but also on other Democratic campaigns leading up to the November elections.
Furthermore, Representatives Jared Golden of Maine and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington have both expressed concerns that former President Trump could potentially defeat Biden in the upcoming November election.
