An increasing number of Democrats in Congress are urging President Joe Biden to end his reelection campaign following his debate performance against Donald Trump. While opinions vary, some lawmakers are openly advocating for Biden to step aside and allow a new nominee to emerge.

SENATOR PETER WELCH called for Biden's withdrawal in an opinion piece, citing national interest. REPRESENTATIVE PAT RYAN described Biden as a patriot but no longer the best candidate, urging a generational transition. REPRESENTATIVE MIKIE SHERRILL also appealed to Biden to step aside for the benefit of the country's future.

Other lawmakers, including REPRESENTATIVE ADAM SMITH, who found Biden's debate performance alarming, and REPRESENTATIVE LLOYD DOGGETT, who noted Biden's declining poll numbers, echoed similar sentiments. Numerous representatives like RAUL GRIJALVA, SETH MOULTON, MIKE QUIGLEY, ANGIE CRAIG, and EARL BLUMENAUER stressed the need for new leadership to ensure democratic integrity and electoral success.
