Not ready to relent, President Joe Biden continues his claim for re-election
On Sunday afternoon, House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries convened a meeting with ranking Democratic lawmakers that reportedly included discussion on Mr Biden’s candidacy.
Later on his soial media X, Democratic National Committee member Alan Clendenin from Florida said on Sunday President Joe Biden should step aside as the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate and allow Vice President Kamala Harris to take over.
Clendenin said in a statement on social media platform X.
“Joe Biden will be remembered by historians as one of the finest presidents in American history, but this election is about the next four years, not the last three and a half.”
Democratic U.S. Representative Adam Schiff told NBC News he felt Vice President Kamala Harris could win “overwhelmingly” if she ran against former President Donald Trump.
“I think she (Harris) very well could win overwhelmingly, but before we get into a decision about who else it should be, the president needs to make a decision about whether it’s him.” Schiff told NBC News on Sunday.
