Is Biden listening to his colleagues?
President Joe Biden is being hit with a cascade of calls to step down as the 2024 Democrat nominee from Democrat senators.
Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) issued a statement on Friday calling on President Biden to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, becoming the 28th Congressional Democrat to make such a call.
“Joe Biden is one of the most accomplished presidents in modern history. He has led our nation through unprecedented challenges with unwavering dedication and profound integrity. His years of service have made a lasting impact on the lives of countless Americans,” the senator prefaced in a statement.
“However, this moment in our nation’s history calls for a focus that is bigger than any one person. The return of Donald Trump to the White House poses an existential danger to our democracy,” he explained. “We must defeat him in November, and we need a candidate who can do that.”
“While the decision to withdraw from the campaign is President Biden’s alone, I believe it is in the best interests of our country for him to step aside,” Heinrich said, noting that “passing the torch” would aid him in securing a legacy “as one of our nation’s greatest leaders.”
On Thursday evening, Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) became the second senator to call on Biden to drop out.
Four House Democrats issued a joint statement on Friday calling on President Biden to exit the presidential race, adding to the significant pressure he is already facing to drop out.
Democrat Reps. Jared Huffman (Calif.), Marc Veasey (Texas) Chuy Garcia of (Ill.) and Mark Pocan (Wisc.) said in a statement, “Mr. President, with great admiration for you personally, sincere respect for your decades of public service and patriotic leadership, and deep appreciation for everything we have accomplished together during your presidency, it is now time for you to pass the torch to a new generation of Democratic leaders.”
“We must defeat Donald Trump to save our democracy, protect our alliances and the rules-based international order, and continue building on the strong foundation you have established over the past four years,” they said.
“At this point, however, we must face the reality that widespread public concerns about your age and fitness are jeopardizing what should be a winning campaign. These perceptions may not be fair, but they have hardened in the aftermath of last month’s debate and are now unlikely to change. We believe the most responsible and patriotic thing you can do in this moment is to step aside as our nominee while continuing to lead our party from the White House,” the lawmakers explained.
A group of Democrat Massachusetts state lawmakers issued a joint statement on Friday calling for President Joe Biden to drop out of the election, Mass Live reported.
The statement is reportedly signed by state Sens. Joanne Comerford, D-Hampshire/Franklin/Worcester, Jamie Eldridge, D-Middlesex/Worcester, Paul Feeney, D-Bristol/Norfolk, Patricia Jehlen, D-2nd Middlesex, John Keenan, D-Norfolk/Plymouth; Jason Lewis, D-5th Middlesex, and Michael Moore, D-2nd Worcester.
The onslaught of Democrats publicly turning on Biden comes as reports indicated he may bow out of the presidential race as soon as this weekend. (RELATED: Biden Expected To Withdraw From 2024 Race This Weekend: Report)
“They do not want what some of my sources have been calling a Kamala coronation, that the problem, in part, that they found themselves in was that President Biden was not seriously challenged for the nomination,” Halperin told his Newsmax colleague and “FRONTLINE” host Carl Higbie.
“It will happen as early as this weekend,” Halperin explained regarding Biden’s supposed decision. “A speech has been drafted for him. He will continue on as president, is his intention. He also will not, I’m told, endorse Vice President Harris as his successor. They’re hoping that he will endorse an open process in which the convention will be open to Vice President Harris and a few other candidates in Chicago to pick the Democratic nominee for president.”

President Trump and his MAGA movement is not an existential threat to our democracy. First of all, we has a country is a Republic. Second, Democrats way of democracy is them staying in power and ruining our country with their terrible policies and want to keep the status quo in Washington DC. They want the corruption and to turn our country into a third-world country. We can’t have none of that. We need Trump in office and a Republican Congress. Period!
Bidumb has never accomplished anything of value for our country since he first went to D.C. and is the worst faux President we ever had. The fact that they’re just now seeing how mentally diminished he is when most Americans have noticed this for years shows just how much the DNC hates America. He should have been impeached using the 25th Amendment years ago and Harris along with him since he wasn’t mentally capable of making good decisions when he picked her.
