In a shocking move, Democratic Senator Peter Welch of Vermont has publicly urged US President Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race, citing concerns over his age and fitness.
This makes Welch the first Democratic senator to openly call for Biden to ditch his reelection bid.
In an opinion piece published in the Washington Post on Wednesday, Welch stated, “For the good of the country, I’m calling on President Biden to withdraw from the race.” Welch’s bold statement has sparked intense debate and discussion among political circles, with many wondering if other Democrats will follow suit.
The call comes as Biden faces growing scrutiny over his ability to lead the country, with some questioning his physical and mental fitness for office. Welch’s move may be seen as a significant blow to Biden’s reelection campaign, which has been struggling to gain momentum.
The development has also raised questions about the potential implications for the Democratic Party
