Colorado Democratic U.S. congressional candidate Adam Frisch urged President Biden to consider what is “good for the country” and step aside in the presidential race.
Democratic congressional candidate Adam Frisch joined some other prominent Democrats calling for President Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race, arguing that his performance at the CNN Presidential Debate was likely not his “only bad night.”
Frisch, who is running to flip Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District from red to blue, urged Biden to step aside in an interview on “America Reports” Wednesday, echoing calls from a few others in his party who came forward to express their concerns about the 81-year-old president’s fitness for office.
He had first made his plea on Tuesday.
“Listen, I think with all due respect, President Biden’s been on a one-way, downhill place for months, based on polling”, Frisch said. “I’m not a doctor. I’m not going to play one on TV… [but] I’m hearing from boots-on-the-ground Democrats and independents — they do not like where they see the president’s going in his ability to articulate a vision on the forward. That’s where everybody is stuck.”
Questions about the president’s physical and mental condition were brought to the forefront during last Thursday’s CNN Presidential Debate between Biden and former President Trump, during which the president was seemingly confused at times, mouth agape, and frequently unable to complete sentences.
