After Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, released a statement calling on President Biden to withdraw, NBC News' Sahil Kapur reports on the Democrats who have begun to add their voices to concerns about Biden remaining in the presidential race.
After President Joe Biden’s catastrophic debate performance Thursday, a number of top Democratic donors are expressing anxiety to the White House, and many commentators — including the editorial board of The New York Times — have called for him to end his candidacy for the White House and allow another Democrat to replace him. But those closest to the president disagree. Biden’s family has reportedly encouraged him to stay in the race.
Ultimately his debate performance alone — a stunning decline from just four years ago — has been enough to rattle many people who have been supportive of the Biden presidency and would otherwise love to see him run for another term. It almost goes without saying that Biden’s family members — who are urging him to stay in the race — are poorly positioned to counsel the president on this matter.
