By The FirstCongressman Adam Schiff urged Joe Biden to suspend his presidential campaign Wednesday, saying “the states are too high” for the 2024 general election.
“While the choice to withdraw from the campaign is President Biden’s alone, I believe it is time for him to pass the torch,” said Schiff. “And in doing so, secure his legacy of leadership by allowing us to defeat Donald Trump in the upcoming election.”
Biden “has been one of the most consequential presidents in our nation’s history,” and that the president’s “lifetime of service as a Senator, a Vice President, and now as President has made our country better.
“But our nation is at a crossroads,” Schiff said. “A second Trump presidency will undermine the very foundation of our democracy, and I have serious concerns about whether the President can defeat Donald Trump in November.“
The Democrat added, “But make no mistake, whoever our party ends up nominating, or if the nomination remains with the president, I will do everything I can to help them succeed.”
This is a developing story.
