Senator Mark Warner, a Democrat from Virginia, is reportedly leading an effort to urge President Biden to withdraw from the presidential race. According to sources, Sen. Warner is working to gather a group of Democratic senators to convey this message to President Biden.
The Washington Post has revealed that Sen. Warner is expressing concerns about Biden's recent debate performance, describing it as poor. Warner is allegedly telling his colleagues that Biden's candidacy may not be viable, especially in a potential matchup against former President Trump.
A spokesperson for Sen. Warner acknowledged that these are crucial moments for the president's campaign. The spokesperson emphasized that Warner has communicated his apprehensions to the White House regarding the current state of Biden's candidacy.
However, the spokesperson did not confirm or deny whether Sen. Warner explicitly believes that President Biden should exit the race. This development comes amidst growing speculation within Democratic circles about the viability of Biden's campaign moving forward.
As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how President Biden and his team will respond to these reported concerns raised by Sen. Warner and other Democratic senators. The upcoming days are likely to be pivotal in determining the future trajectory of the Democratic presidential race.
