Rep. Adam Schiff has become the most prominent elected Democrat to publicly call on President Joe Biden to drop out of the race. Schiff, who is currently running for the US Senate in California, made this announcement following the failed assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump over the weekend. Schiff’s statement is significant not only because of his status but also due to his close relationship with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. He is the first Democrat to suggest that Biden step aside since the incident involving Trump.

 

In his statement, Schiff acknowledged that the decision to withdraw from the campaign is ultimately Biden’s to make, but he expressed his belief that it is time for Biden to pass the torch. “While the choice to withdraw from the campaign is President Biden’s alone, I believe it is time for him to pass the torch. And in doing so, secure his legacy of leadership by allowing us to defeat Donald Trump in the upcoming election,” Schiff said. He went on to praise Biden’s leadership but emphasized the critical juncture at which the nation finds itself. “A second Trump presidency will undermine the very foundation of our democracy, and I have serious concerns about whether the President can defeat Donald Trump in November,” Schiff added.

 

Schiff has been a vocal critic of Trump, having served as an impeachment manager during one of Trump's impeachment trials. His call for Biden to step aside is notable as it departs from the cautious stance he had previously taken. Following Biden’s poor performance in a CNN debate last month, Schiff had only suggested that the president should carefully consider the future of his campaign. Now, Schiff is unequivocally urging Biden to withdraw.

 

A Biden campaign official responded to Schiff’s statement by referring to a July 8 letter from Biden to congressional Democrats, which reiterated his intention to remain in the race. The official also highlighted Biden’s continued support from other Democratic lawmakers, including Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chair Nanette Barragan.

 

The Democratic Party is currently facing significant internal debate about the best path forward. There are growing concerns that Biden may not be able to defeat Trump in the upcoming election and that his continued candidacy could negatively impact other Democratic candidates in down-ballot races. CNN reported that the Democratic National Committee is proceeding with its plan to virtually nominate Biden at the Democratic convention in Chicago next month. This decision has been controversial, with some elected officials within the party calling for a reconsideration of the strategy amid the ongoing debate about Biden’s candidacy.

 

As the political landscape continues to evolve, Schiff’s call for Biden to step aside marks a pivotal moment in the Democratic Party’s approach to the 2024 election. The coming weeks will likely see further discussions and potential shifts in strategy as Democrats navigate the challenges posed by a possible Trump candidacy and the internal divisions within their own ranks.

Abandon ship ! 

Yeah,  Pelosi has explained to Biden that based on the polling he can't beat Trump but has not publicly stated he should withdraw. 

 

Biden says: "Biden reportedly pushed back — telling Pelosi that all polling he’s seen has pointed to a successful re-election bid."

 

With every breath Biden takes serves to show how mentally compromised his brain has become. He's unfit to be in office and should stand down before he gets forced out.

 

DNC is imploding and it's all thanks to Biden.
