Representative Adam Schiff Calls on Biden to Drop Out of 2024 Presidential Race
High-profile Democrat Schiff is the first to publicly urge Biden to step down
Schiff, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, voices concerns about Biden's age and effectiveness
In a bold move, Representative Adam Schiff, the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, has called on President Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. Schiff, a high-profile Democrat and leading candidate for Senate in California, expressed concerns about Biden's age and effectiveness as the incumbent president.
Schiff's announcement marks a significant shift in the Democratic Party's stance on Biden's reelection. Previously, Democratic leaders have largely avoided publicly discussing the possibility of Biden not seeking a second term, despite growing concerns within the party about his age and approval ratings.
In a statement released by Schiff's office, the Congressman outlined his reasons for urging Biden to step down. Schiff cited Biden's age, saying that he would be "82 years old by the end of his second term, making him the oldest president in American history." He also expressed concerns about Biden's ability to lead the country effectively, citing Biden's recent gaffes and declining approval ratings.
The announcement by Schiff is a major development in the 2024 presidential race and is likely to spur further discussion within the Democratic Party about the future of the party's leadership.
