The Dam Breaks: Texas Congressman Is First Sitting Democrat To Publicly Call for Biden To Drop Out
The public call for withdrawal comes after President Biden’s disastrous debate performance that has sparked fears within the Democratic party.
A veteran Democrat from Texas, Congressman Lloyd Doggett, is the first sitting Democratic congressman to publicly call on President Biden to withdraw from the race after his disastrous debate performance on Thursday, in what could be a pivotal moment for the party.
“Too much is at stake to risk a Trump victory — too great a risk to assume that what could not be turned around in a year, what was not turned around in the debate, can be turned around now,” Mr. Doggett said in a statement. “President Biden saved our democracy by delivering us from Trump in 2020. He must not deliver us to Trump in 2024.”
