Arizona Representative Greg Stanton has joined a growing number of Democratic lawmakers in calling for President Joe Biden to suspend his reelection campaign. In a statement posted on social media, Stanton emphasized the importance of American democracy and the need to make progress on shared priorities.
Stanton's call for a new nominee comes as the 12th House Democrat to urge Biden to step aside. Vermont Senator Peter Welch has also expressed similar sentiments.
The push for Biden to step aside as the Democratic nominee reflects a growing concern within the party about the President's ability to lead effectively and secure reelection. While Biden has not yet responded to these calls, the pressure from within his own party is mounting.
As the debate over Biden's candidacy continues, it remains to be seen how this internal party conflict will impact the upcoming election cycle. With key midterm elections on the horizon, the Democratic Party faces a critical decision about its leadership and direction moving forward.
