Rep. Adam Schiff Urges Biden Withdrawal

California Rep. Adam Schiff has publicly urged President Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race, citing concerns about Biden's ability to defeat Donald Trump and the potential negative impact on downballot Democrats. Schiff, who is running for Senate, emphasized Biden's significant contributions but argued that a different candidate is needed to secure a victory against Trump. This call comes amid growing dissent within the Democratic Party, with Schiff being the 21st congressional Democrat to ask Biden to step aside. Despite his urging, Schiff pledged to support the Democratic nominee, whether it is Biden or another candidate. The Democratic National Convention plans to hold a virtual vote in early August to formally nominate Biden, despite these internal pressures.
