Rep. Adam Schiff Urges Biden to Step Aside for 2024

In a notable political development, Democratic U.S. Representative Adam Schiff has openly called on President Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 election race. Schiff's plea aims to allow another Democrat to stand against the potential Republican candidate, Donald Trump. This statement was first reported by the Los Angeles Times on Wednesday.

Schiff, a California Democrat currently running for the Senate, expressed strong concerns about a second Trump presidency, stating it would jeopardize the foundation of American democracy. He further voiced skepticism about President Biden's ability to secure enough votes to defeat Donald Trump in the upcoming November election.

By advising Biden to step aside, Schiff believes the Democratic Party can ensure a stronger leadership to counter Trump's bid for the presidency and protect democratic values.
