Biden Faces Growing Calls to Step Aside

Amid growing calls for President Joe Biden to step aside from his re-election campaign, key Democratic figures such as Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Sen. Bernie Sanders continue to support him. Shapiro underscores the existential threat posed by Donald Trump, while Sanders believes Biden can still win if he addresses working-class issues. However, significant dissent exists within the party, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Sen. Peter Welch among those urging Biden to reconsider. High-profile voices like Nancy Pelosi and George Clooney have also expressed doubts about Biden's viability as a candidate after his poor debate performance. Despite these divisions, some, including Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, defend Biden's capabilities and leadership.
