Former Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) predicted that voters’ concerns about President Biden’s age could spell disaster for swing-district Democrats across the country in November.
Ryan, who was one of the first prominent Democrats to urge Biden to leave the presidential race last week, said in a “Fox News Sunday” interview with Shannon Bream that he expects more lawmakers to join his call.
“I think you’re going to see a significant amount of pressure whether it’s today or tomorrow, sometime this week, as the members come back that this may be untenable for them to all want to run under a Biden ticket,” Ryan said. “Because it’s going to drag everybody else down, and I think that’s a major, major concern for Leader [Hakeem] Jeffries [D-N.Y.], who’s a phenomenal leader.”
“I think his members, donors, activists around the country are very, very concerned,” he added.
Five Democrats in the House have called on Biden to leave the race, and Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) is reported to be organizing Senators to do the same. Jeffries is reportedly scheduled to meet with House Democrats on Sunday afternoon to discuss Biden’s candidacy.
Ryan made clear that he is a fan of Biden, but said that the faltering debate performance has created concerns among voters that could prevent him from being reelected.
“If this is a sporting event, and you throw three interceptions, the coach pulls the quarterback,” Ryan said. “If you’re a pitcher that’s not getting the job done and they’re hitting home run dingers left and right, the manager goes in and pulls the pitcher out.”

Wave Bye/Bye, America to the awful Bidens!
This is spin. His age is not the issue.
“Age concerns”?
Lol
It’s not his age; it’s his mental acuity.

while age is a concern, it would not prevent me from voting for Biden if I thought his policies were any good and that he was still capable of functioning in the job
age isn’t the key problem. mental illness is.
It has nothing to do with his age. They just don’t want to admit that his policies suck.
Everyone has known for years that he’s not up to the job. Everyone knows that a vote for Biden is a vote for Harris. That’s already factored into the polls.
Stop teasing me Timmy.
The dem hyenas are cackling day and night, to wear him down. It’s like watching PBS as a kid.
Only Brandon can save “our democracy.” Hang in there, Champ!
Dear God, please let it be so.
Turnout and third party voting is the issue.
Folks with TDS can still stay home or vote for any of the lefty third parties.
If every down-ballot RAT race were to suffer... Yay!
Biden the part time President without a brain.
