Dozens of Democratic lawmakers are considering signing a letter demanding President Joe Biden withdraw from the race, a senior party official said, as panic mounts that he’ll cost them control of Congress.
Biden is rapidly losing the support of Democratic lawmakers and candidates concerned the 81-year-old’s continued candidacy would lead to a Republican sweep of Washington and an unchecked Donald Trump presidency.
Democrats running for reelection in traditionally safe Democratic districts are circulating the letter, the official said, underscoring how widespread the panic is within the party.

    Democrats are now conceding to what we've known for years.

    What are the best strategies to protect my portfolio? I've heard that a downturn will devastate the financial market, so I'm concerned about my $200k stock portfolio.

    Schumer has to go. Jeffries has to go. All leaders of the party have to go. They are all responsible for this debacle.

    Nobody is allowed to talk about any policy that actually matters
  • @RM618h
    After 2016 and 2020, democrat voters already know they don’t get to pick the nominee. I don’t think they’d actually be the upset to get disenfranchised again.

    If he steps down Harris would be better for our country? Not!

    Sick of hearing how bad Biden is. His workday is from 10 am to 4 pm. This man works hard for the people-----then naps like a sloth.

    Democracy works! Can Chinese 🇨🇳 people demand Xi Jinping to step down from his post?
  • @glennnielsen8054
    Sometimes people believe in what they hope, but that is not possible. In that perspective, it is interesting that when you have heard Biden's statements over the last few years, that the problem has only become relevant now.
