Senator Patty Murray said the president „must seriously consider“ his position.
A member of the Democratic leadership has said the party needs a more „energetic candidate“ than President Joe Biden to take on Donald Trump in the 2024 election.
In a statement, Senator Patty Murray, a six-term veteran of the Senate who serves as the upper chamber’s president pro tempore and has been part of the party’s leadership since 2001, said the incumbent president „must do more“ to win November’s vote.
Biden has faced growing calls to leave the 2024 race following a presidential debate on June 27, in which he gave a series of incoherent and confusing responses and appeared to trail off at times without finishing sentences. A Biden aide previously told Newsweek that the president had a cold. He also said he had been tired from international travel and had no plans to drop out of the race.
