Democratic Rep. Lloyd Doggett Calls On Joe Biden To Step Aside

Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) on Tuesday called on President Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race following Biden’s bad debate performance against Donald Trump last week, making him the first Democratic member of Congress to do so.

“Recognizing that, unlike Trump, President Biden’s first commitment has always been to our country, not himself, I am hopeful that he will make the painful and difficult decision to withdraw,” Doggett said in a statement. “I respectfully call on him to do so.”
