New York moderate Democratic Rep. Pat Ryan has joined seven other congressional Democrats in calling for President Joe Biden to step aside for the good of the country. This decision was first reported by The New York Times.
Rep. Ryan expressed his concerns about the upcoming election, stating that he believes Trump poses an existential threat to American democracy. He emphasized the importance of putting forward the strongest candidate to defeat Trump, suggesting that Biden may no longer be the best choice for this task.
While acknowledging Biden's patriotism, Rep. Ryan urged the President to fulfill his promise of being a bridge to a new generation of leaders. He believes that stepping aside would be in the best interest of the nation.
This call for Biden to step aside comes at a critical time in American politics, with the 2020 election looming on the horizon. The Democratic Party is facing internal debates and discussions about the most effective strategy to defeat Trump and secure a better future for the country.
It remains to be seen how Biden and the Democratic Party will respond to this request from Rep. Ryan and the other Democrats who have called for a change in leadership. The outcome of these discussions could have significant implications for the upcoming election and the future direction of the Democratic Party.
