Rep. Adam Schiff Tells Biden to Withdraw From Presidential Race

Rep. Adam Schiff (R-CA), a Senate candidate, has officially called for President Joe Biden to withdraw from the presidential race.

From the LA Times:

In his statement, Schiff said Biden “has been one of the most consequential presidents in our nation’s history, and his lifetime of service as a Senator, a Vice President, and now as President has made our country better.”“But our nation is at a crossroads,” he 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.”Schiff said the “choice to withdraw from the campaign is President Biden’s alone,” but that he believes it is time for Biden “to pass the torch” and “secure his legacy of leadership” by allowing another Democrat to beat Trump.Schiff also said he will fully support whoever ends up at the top of the Democratic ticket — including if it remains Biden.“I will do everything I can to help them succeed,” Schiff said. “There is only one singular goal: defeating Donald Trump. The stakes are just too high.”
