Rep. Lloyd Doggett was the first Democrat in Congress to urge Biden to drop out after the debate.
here is growing alarm among Democrats about the fallout from Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance on June 27, amplifying concerns he can’t beat Donald Trump in November.One of Biden’s longtime allies, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, left the door open Wednesday for Biden to still decide to drop out of the race, despite his repeated vows to do no such thing. “I want him to do whatever he decides to do, and that's -- that's the way it is.
In an earlier TV interview on July 2, she said that it’s a “legitimate question” to ask if Biden’s pauses during the debate were “an episode or is this a condition?” But she stopped short of calling for Biden to withdraw, saying that people should have concerns about Trump’s mental acuity as well. She said opinions are “mixed” about whether Biden’s up to the job, but, she said, “I trust his judgment.
One of Biden’s most crucial Democratic allies, South Carolina Congressman James Clyburn, said on MSNBC on July 2 that he would support Vice President Kamala Harris if Biden were to step aside. That is an obvious statement for a co-chair of the Biden-Harris campaign, but it took on additional weight during a period that has been rife with speculation about whether Biden should remain on the ticket.from the race before the election.
"He saved us from Donald Trump once and wants to do it again. But he needs to reassess whether he is the best candidate to do so. In my view, he is not. For the good of the country, I’m calling on President Biden to withdraw from the race."The movie star has long been a major donor to Democrats. On June 16, he co-hosted a massive $28 million fundraiser for Biden in Los Angeles. On July 10, he broke with Biden when he published a guest column intitled, “I Love Joe Biden.
In his announcement, Doggett referred to former President Lyndon Johnson’s decision in 1968 to withdraw from the Presidential race because of deep divisions within the Democratic party over the war in Vietnam."I represent the heart of a congressional district once represented by Lyndon Johnson,” Doggett said. “Under very different circumstances, he made the painful decision to withdraw. President Biden should do the same.
