Democratic Rep. Brittany Pettersen of Colorado is one of several Democrats who have called on President Joe Biden to drop out of the election following the president’s press briefing on Thursday.
Pettersen released a statement Friday following Biden’s highly criticized NATO press briefing, in which he committed several crucial gaffes that fueled continued speculation that the president is not mentally fit for another four-year term. Connecticut Rep. Jim Himes, California Rep. Scott Peters and Illinois Rep. Eric Sorensen also called on Biden to step down following the briefing, with Peters saying “we are on a losing course,” keeping Biden in the race, according to NBC News.
“Joe Biden saved our country once, and I’m joining the growing number of people in my district and across the country to ask him to do it again. Please pass the torch to one of our many capable Democratic leaders so we have the best chance to defeat Donald Trump, who is the greatest threat to the foundation of this country that we have ever faced,” Pettersen said in her statement.
Pettersen joins at least 18 other Congressional Democrats who have voiced fears that Biden will lose to former President Trump if he remains the nominee in light of recent polling favoring the former president. Many Biden allies have called on the president to drop from the race following his June debate against Trump, where he appeared to freeze and made several gaffes.
Please note their main concern is keeping the White House in Democrats’ hands.
Not what’s best for the country.
What am I missing? The polls are not showing Biden in a free fall.
Duly noted several days ago...................
There are external polls which the public gets to see, and internal polls that only the elites get to see.................
When a bomb is in your house going tick tick tick tick...do you say “my house looks fine—no issue there”?
Lol.
Are Democrats so stupid that they can’t remember how they stole the 2020 election?
Just put Joe in the basement and only let him out to read scripted, brief and then heavily edited comments to an empty room.
Sorry, kids - the old man’s people have manned the ramparts and pulled up the drawbridge. You aren’t going to talk him out.
His approval will probably go down somewhat with a lot of Democrats undecided or not likely to vote but these recent performances also aren’t necessarily worse they are just getting more attention.
He never did anything for the good of our country. He didn't *save* it from anything, ever.
The cat’s outta the bag now and they can’t put it back in.......................
Biden’s “press conference” last night was the biggest crash and burn since the Hindenburg.
If he is too demented to run for President, he is too demented remain President.
The bar is so low for Joe that if he mists a mirror, they consider it a success.
Exactly so. They don’t want to admit that and will avoid the question at all costs. That’s why the 25th Amendment was made, but they won’t use it...........................
But we learned why he is so determined not to resign. He thinks Trump is the Vice President.
At this point it’s comedy...no, no it’s tragedy.
Shakespeare couldn’t write this?
Stephen King couldn’t write this!.....................
