The president has also publicly stated that he is staying in the 2024 race on multiple occasions since the debate, including writing in a letter to congressional Democrats on Monday that it was time for questions about his candidacy “to end” and that the party should shift its focus to defeating Trump.
New Jersey Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill on Tuesday released a statement in which she said it was imperative that Democrats do not allow Trump to return to the White House and that Biden should “declare that he won’t run for reelection” to allow the party to pick a new nominee to take on the former president.
According to Politico, the call lasted two hours, as Democratic Representatives Jerry Nadler and Joe Morelle of New York, Adam Smith of Washington and Mark Takano of California “forcefully” pushed for Biden to leave the race.
Politico, which spoke to two people familiar with the private session, also reported that Representives Jim Himes of Connecticut, Zoe Lofgren of California, Don Beyer of Virginia and Rick Larsen of Washington voiced concerns about Biden’s chances against Trump.
Congressman Mike Quigley of Illinois told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes Friday evening that while he had a “hard time processing” talks of Biden stepping aside, he agrees the president should drop out of the race.
“President Biden has done enormous service to our country, but now is the time for him to follow in one of our founding father George Washington’s footsteps and step aside to let new leaders rise up and run against Donald Trump,” Moulton said.
