In a surprising development, Representative Lloyd Doggett, a Democrat from Texas, has publicly called for President Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. Breaking with the party line, Doggett argued that Biden should step aside to allow a “new generation of leaders” to emerge and unify the country.
“President Biden delivered us from Trump four years ago, and I plead with him not to allow the Republican candidate to return to the White House in 2024,” Doggett stated, emphasizing the need for fresh leadership.
Doggett’s appeal adds to a growing chorus of voices urging Biden to reconsider his re-election bid, though the president remains steadfast in his commitment to run. “I am hopeful that he will make the painful and difficult decision to withdraw. I respectfully call on him to do so,” Doggett added.
While it is uncertain if this call will influence Biden’s inner circle, it reflects a notable shift in the Democratic Party’s internal dynamics as the 2024 election approaches.
