Thirty-Two Congressional Democrats Urge Biden to Reconsider 2024 Run

Thirty-two Democratic lawmakers have publicly urged President Joe Biden not to seek re-election after his recent debate performance against Donald Trump. The group, which includes both senators and representatives, constitutes over 10% of the Democratic presence in Congress.

In a surprising turn of events, thirty-two congressional Democrats have publicly urged President Joe Biden to reconsider his re-election bid. The call comes in the wake of the 81-year-old incumbent's lackluster debate performance against Republican contender Donald Trump.

This group represents over one in ten Democrats in Congress. Democrats currently hold 213 seats in the House of Representatives and 51 in the Senate.

The lawmakers urging Biden to step aside include Senators Martin Heinrich, Jon Tester, and Peter Welch, as well as Representatives Earl Blumenauer, Ed Case, Sean Casten, Jim Costa, Angie Craig, Lloyd Doggett, and more.
