House Representative Mike Levin, a Democrat from California, has joined a growing number of lawmakers within the party in urging President Biden to step aside from this year's presidential race and 'pass the torch.'
In a recent statement, Levin expressed his concerns about President Biden's performance in a recent debate and called on him to make an expeditious decision about his candidacy. He has also engaged with House Democratic leadership and his colleagues to voice his opinions.
Despite acknowledging President Biden as an 'outstanding leader' whom he deeply respects, Levin believes that it is time for Biden to pass the torch to a new leader.
Levin emphasized the importance of uniting against the perceived threat that Donald Trump poses to American institutions of freedom and democracy. He warned against what he described as Trump's pursuit of authoritarianism and the undermining of values that have guided the nation for centuries.
'We must prevail against the incalculable threat Donald Trump poses to the American institutions of freedom and democracy,' Levin stated.
Levin's call for President Biden to step aside comes in the wake of growing concerns within the Democratic Party about Biden's candidacy and his ability to lead the party to victory in the upcoming election.
