In an exclusive interview with Meet the Press, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) is asked whether Vice President Kamala Harris could have an easier time than President Biden at beating former President Donald Trump in November.
WASHINGTON — Four additional Democrats in Congress told their lawmaker colleagues during a phone call Sunday that they believe President Joe Biden should step aside to allow someone else to be the party’s nominee for president, according to multiple people on the call and familiar with the discussion. The House Democrats who said Biden should drop out of the 2024 race were Reps. Adam Smith of Washington, Jerry Nadler of New York, Mark Takano of California and Joe Morelle of New York.
During the call, which lasted over an hour, Biden’s future as the leader of the party was heavily called into question, according to the sources. Each lawmaker was given a chance to speak in order of seniority. Even those who did not explicitly call on Biden to bow out expressed concerns that he is not the strongest candidate to beat former President Donald Trump in November, additional sources said.
