Read our privacy policy Representative Seth Moulton, a Massachusetts Democrat, said he called for Joe Biden to drop out of the race saying the president had appeared to not recognize him. “It was a crushing realization, and not because a person I care about had a rough night but because everything is riding on Biden’s ability to beat Donald Trump in November,” he continued. “It’s about our best chance to win an election against a narcissistic liar and convicted felon who will jeopardize our national security and make life worse for ordinary Americans.” Moulton is one of 35 Democrats who have publicly called for Biden to bow out of the 2024 presidential election. Representative Adam Schiff said a “second Trump presidency will undermine the very foundation of our democracy, and I have serious concerns about whether the President can defeat Donald Trump in November.” Meanwhile, Representative Jamie Raskin told the president that “everything we believe in is on the line in the next four-and-a-half months” and that “we have an overriding obligation to defeat the forces of resurgent monarchy and oppression.” Other influential Democrats, including former president Barack Obama and Representative Nancy Pelosi, have reportedly pushed in private for Biden to step aside.
