First Democratic lawmaker publicly calls on Biden to quit presidential race
WASHINGTON — Lloyd Doggett becomes the first Democratic US lawmaker to publicly call on Joe Biden to withdraw from the race for the White House, following the president’s poor performance in last week’s presidential debate.
“Recognizing that, unlike Trump, President Biden’s first commitment has always been to our country, not himself, I am hopeful that he will make the painful and difficult decision to withdraw. I respectfully call on him to do so,” the Texas Congressman says in a statement.
