WASHINGTON — Four additional Democrats in Congress told their lawmaker colleagues during a phone call Sunday that they believe President Joe Biden should step aside to allow someone else to be the party’s nominee for president, according to multiple people on the call and familiar with the discussion.
The House Democrats who said Biden should drop out of the race were Adam Smith of Washington, Jerry Nadler of New York, Mark Takano of California and Joe Morelle of New York.
All four lawmakers hold top positions on key committees and bring the number of Democrats in Congress who have called for Biden to reconsider his bid for president to nearly a dozen.
Smith is the top Democrat on the Armed Services Committee. Similar positions are held by Nadler on the Judiciary Committee, Takano on the Veterans’ Affairs Committee and Morelle on the House Administration Committee.
The four lawmakers and the Biden campaign did not immediately provide comments on the call.
The conversation took place Sunday afternoon during a call convened by House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York. During the call, which lasted over an hour, Biden’s future as the leader of the party was heavily called into question, according to the sources.
Each lawmaker was given a chance to speak in order of seniority. Even those who did not explicitly call on Biden to bow out expressed concerns that he is not the strongest candidate to beat former President Donald Trump in November, additional sources said.
There was an overwhelming sense among lawmakers that Vice President Kamala Harris would be a better nominee than Biden and that she would be the obvious choice to replace Biden should he exit the race, the additional sources said.
Jeffries’ office declined to comment on the call.

How many called on Nixon to resign?
It will be karma from on high if fighting Joe can take many DemoRat down ballot pols along with him to defeat in November.
Several.. don’t know if an actual tab was kept..
We should be focusing on ways to keep him on the ballot, or at least to keep everything lawful.
On Aug. 7, 1974, U.S. Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., U.S. House Minority Leader John Rhodes, R-Ariz., and U.S. Senate Minority Leader Hugh Scott, R-Pa., made it clear to the embattled Nixon that he faced all-but-certain impeachment, conviction and removal from office in connection with the Watergate scandal.So it took only THREE members of his minority party to get him to resign. Now we are up to TWELVE Democrats telling Biden to bail out of the 2024 race.Nixon announced his resignation the next evening, effective at noon on Aug 9, 1974.
Would Biden end his quest for re-election and NOT resign immediately?
Yeah. I remembered Goldwater led the delegation to tell Nixon it was over... sort of playing elder statesman.
It would be cool if Biden resigned on August 9, 2024 — FIFTY years to the day after Nixon resigned. It’s only a month away.
The gop needs to ease up on Biden until he’s actually nominated. Harris can be defeated but not as easily as Biden.
Nixon had class though. Biden does not.
Numbers can be odd things... case in point, it took 5 “journalists” to write the above article. In a weird way that’s the most interesting thing about the story to me...
We are seeing a lot of that with five up to ten or more authors. It’s really weird and says a lot about today’s talent and universities.
Wait until she starts talking as the “presumptive nominee,” then you will change your mind. She does one thing good—if that. Lying on her back...
Now that the obvious cat is out of the bag about Biden, how bout we insist on more truths,I.e. 2020 was stolen, Michelle is a man, Obama’s birth certificate was forged, J6 was I filtrated by the FBI, just for starters. We knew about Biden and we know about the above.
Yes. We need to support the right of all the people out there who voted for Biden to have the nominee of their choosing on the ballot... that’s been my position all along. Heritage Foundation is already getting the paperwork together to see that that happens..,.
.
I would look them each in the eye, and ask:
Are you a Junkie?
.
I’m not sure about that... the more she talked in 2020 the more she lost support. It helped to have Tulsi going after after her tooth and nail though.
heh...
I’m so surprised that jerk made it past 2020... especially after that black kids playing with his blonde leg hair speech... the night I heard that I was sure he was finished.
Four more Democrats in Congress call for Biden to step aside in the 2024 race, and 5 so called journalists:
