The resignation call for Biden is coming from inside the House
Rep. Lloyd Doggett calls for Biden to withdraw. Doggett of Texas became the first elected Democrat to call on President Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race, saying the president “failed” to defend his record and reassure voters that he’s the man for the job during last week’s debate.
Acknowledging President Joe Biden‘s accomplishments for his party, Doggett said in a Tuesday statement that “many Americans have indicated dissatisfaction with their choices in this election.”
“President Biden has continued to run substantially behind Democratic senators in key states and in most polls has trailed Donald Trump. I had hoped that the debate would provide some momentum to change that. It did not. Instead of reassuring voters, the President failed to effectively defend his many accomplishments and expose Trump’s many lies,” the 77-year-old Democrat said
Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, said Tuesday he is hopeful Biden “will make the painful and difficult decision to withdraw” from the 2024 race for the White House.
