Texas congressman calls for Biden to step down as party’s presidential nominee | FOX 7 Austin
SUMMARY: A Democratic US Congressman from Austin, Lloyd Doggett, has become the first in his party to publicly call for President Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race, citing concerns over Biden's debate performance and ability to defeat former President Trump. Doggett emphasized that many Democrats share his concerns privately, although he is the first to speak out publicly. Polls in his district show a strong preference for a new candidate. The debate has intensified scrutiny of Biden's age and capability, which Trump has also targeted. While Doggett did not specify alternative candidates, he believes a new contender would have a better chance in the upcoming election.
Texas U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett is the first major Democrat to call for the President Joe Biden to step down as the party's 2024 presidential nominee.
