President Joe Biden faces mounting pressure from both lawmakers and donors to step aside. Two more House Democrats today called for him to bow out of the race.
Democrats chose Joe Biden in 2020 because they thought he was the safest candidate to beat Donald Trump. Now, his perceived electability has nosedived.
The former fixer-turned-star witness in the hush money trial wants to force Trump to pay for his being jailed after he refused to promise not to write a book.
“Donald Trump is on track ... to win this election and maybe win it by a landslide and take with him the Senate and the House,” the Colorado Democrat said.
Analysis: Biden’s struggles during and since the June debate tie back to a longer-term, fundamental miscalculation about his political rise against Trump.
Despite some divisions within the party, House Democrats have remained largely supportive of the president after his disastrous debate performance last month.
