Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., recently made a statement urging Democrats to carefully consider the potential consequences of having President Biden as the party's nominee in the upcoming November election. Torres emphasized the importance of analyzing the down-ballot impact of the chosen nominee, highlighting the significance of data-driven decision-making over personal sentiments.
Torres stressed the need for a pragmatic evaluation of the numerical data, emphasizing that objective analysis should guide the party's nomination process. He underscored the necessity of being realistic about the outcomes of the chosen path, particularly in light of the potential risks posed by a Trump presidency.
These remarks from Torres follow a series of polls indicating a surge in support for former President Trump following the CNN Presidential Debate on June 27. Criticism of Biden's performance during the debate has centered on concerns about his cognitive abilities and fitness to lead the nation, particularly given his age of 81 years.
