ALBAWABA - Representative Angie Craig has called on President Joe Biden to resign after a dismal debate performance and a weak reaction.
Former US official says Biden's 'destructive support for Israel' was the reason she resignedCraig, representing Minnesota's 2nd Congressional District, which includes sections of the Twin Cities, stressed the need to avoid another Trump administration. On Saturday morning, she said, "This is not a decision I've come to lightly, but there is simply too much at stake."
Biden's capacity to campaign against Trump is being questioned by more Democrats, including Craig. She joins Texas Rep. Lloyd Doggett, who was the first to demand for Biden's withdrawal following the debate.
Sources say Democrat Senator Warner urged Biden to withdraw the race.
According to unidentified Washington Post sources, Virginia Democrat Senator Mark Warner has been discussing pushing President Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential campaign with other senators.
Warner told sources that Biden may not be able to overcome Republican challenger Donald Trump and may no longer be a candidate after his poor performance in the live debate.
Biden told the reporters, "No one else has made such a demand."
Biden, 81, has continued campaigning despite criticism. He met with Democratic governors to address performance issues and vowed to remain in the race.
After the debate, electoral experts upgraded Minnesota from "likely Democratic" to "lean Democratic," indicating its enhanced competitiveness in the race.
