We are calling for President Biden to step aside so that a different candidate can be nominated at the Democratic convention in August, the state lawmakers said.
Democratic State Sens. Jo Comerford, Paul Feeney, Pat Jehlen, John Keenan, Jason Lewis, Michael Moore and Jamie Eldridge at the start of the joint statement hailed Bidens lifetime of public service to our nation, but argued later in the release that recent polls show competitive races in blue states like Virginia and Minnesota between Biden and former President Donald Trump.
The state senators also pointed to increasing worries from Democratic federal lawmakers over Bidens chances against Trump, and the impact of losing the Oval Office for the party.

(13,701 posts)Joe is our candidate.
14 million of us have already voted for him.
We saw the debate.
It didn't change our minds.
Joe is our candidate.
He is a fighter.
Why don't you try fighting with him instead of against him ???
If you can't do that, just keep your mouths shut !!!

(76 posts)"pass the torch" in their statement, they immediately get a side-eye from me and I'm going to assume that they're getting money. It all seems coordinated to trickle out in a way that will overshadow any news that will be beneficial to Democrats (Donnie's deranged speech last night, any interview that Biden does) and I'm really beginning to think that the people behind this were waiting for any excuse to push an effort to oust Biden, and perhaps Harris, and that the debate just happened to be the thing that they could use to light the match. Others (the pod bros) may have different intentions but I listened to those guys for years, and while I think that their heart is in the right place and they have made substantial efforts to GOTV and raise money for Democrats, their political instincts were often proved wrong. This has now culminated in such a way that I really will put some blame on all of these people if we lose in November.
