Rep. Hakeem Jeffries Says ‘Biden is Our Nominee’ as More Democrats Tell Biden to Step Aside

Democrats: Civil War is a great movie so far.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told reporters that he still supports President Joe Biden:

“President Biden, as I’ve said repeatedly, is our nominee,” Jeffries told reporters Friday, as concerns heighten over the president’s fitness and mental competency to serve another four years.”He has a tremendous track record of success. He’s one of the most accomplished American presidents in our history. And he has the vision, I believe, the ability, the capacity, and the track record to make a case to the American people that will result in us being successful in November,” Jeffries said.A clip of the remark was posted by White House Senior Deputy Press Secretary and Deputy Assistant to the President Andrew Bates.

Biden Campaign Chair Jen O’Malley Dillon said this morning that Biden is staying in the race.

However, over 30 Congressional Democrats have told Biden to step aside.

Seven have emerged today:

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus’s political arm, BOLD PAC, endorsed Biden:

First reported in The Hill, BOLD PAC Chairwoman Rep. Linda Sánchez, D-Calif., said Friday, “President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have delivered for the Latino community and CHC BOLD PAC is proud to endorse them for re-election.””From historic investments in our infrastructure system to expanding access to affordable health care, they have championed policies that lifted up our families and communities,” she said.Sánchez argued that the Biden administration has shown commitment to the Latino community and argued that former President Trump winning another term would be “disastrous” to Latinos.“It is clear that Latino voters will decide the margin of victory in competitive races up and down the ballot this cycle, from California and New Mexico to Arizona, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Nebraska,” she said. “BOLD PAC is investing in targeted outreach and strategic campaigns so that Latino voters mobilize for Democrats up and down the ballot this cycle and power President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to victory.”
