Democrats are rallying around need for change as Adam Schiff becomes the first top leader to call for Biden to step aside after the attempted assassination of Trump with concerns mounting over Biden's ability to defeat the Republican candidate.In the statement, Schiff, who is currently running for Senate in California, called on Biden to “pass the torch” and “secure his legacy of leadership” by allowing Democrats to defeat Donald Trump.
"While the choice to withdraw from the campaign is President Biden’s alone, I believe it is time for him to pass the torch," Schiff said in a statement."And in doing so, secure his legacy of leadership by allowing us to defeat Donald Trump in the upcoming election." In response to Schiff's comments, the Biden campaign pointed to what it called"extensive support" for him and his reelection bid from members of Congress in key swing states, as well as from the Congressional Black and Hispanic caucuses.
Tim Walz, co-chairs of the rules committee for the Democratic National Convention wrote in a letter on Wednesday. Even if Democrats conduct a virtual roll call vote ahead of their convention, though, it wouldn’t necessarily lock Biden into the nomination.
