At least 25 House Democrats are preparing to urge President Biden to drop out of his reelection bid after his dismal performance in the debate with former President Donald Trump.
The news was reported by Reuters’ overnight report.
During last week’s debate, the president often appeared flustered, stammering, misrepresenting facts and losing track of his thoughts with his mouth open.
This was in stark contrast to his rivals, who were often portrayed as more engaging and energetic, often benefiting from the split-screen setup.
Political Insider reported Tuesday that some Democratic insiders and media outlets have begun publicly calling on Biden to step down from the campaign.
Longtime Ohio congressman Tim Ryan has taken to social media to speak out, while Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) has become the first sitting lawmaker to make the call.
But now the dam has broken, according to Reuters.

Rebellion within the Democratic Party
Reuters is now reporting that dozens of House Democrats are ready to urge President Biden to suspend his reelection campaign.
But it seems like they’re giving him one more chance before committing to him completely.
“Twenty-five House Democrats are preparing to urge Biden to step down if he appears uneasy in the coming days,” they wrote.
As you might expect, these lawmakers are not particularly concerned about the well-being of the man or the country he leads. What worries them is their own re-election campaign.
According to insiders, moderate House Democrats in competitive districts said they were “getting a ton of questions from their districts this week” after Biden metaphorically got excited on air.
“It’s like a dam has broken,” one aide told Reuters.
How serious is the break? Even former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi dropped a bombshell on Tuesday, saying any questions about whether Biden’s health (or Trump’s) was a sign of a “condition” were legitimate.
“I think it’s a fair question to ask, is this an episode or is this a condition? So when people ask that question, it’s a fair question for both candidates,” Pelosi said.

The Biden Campaign in Crisis
It was truly amazing to watch Julius Caesar being stabbed by his fellow soldiers in real time.
There appears to be a coup attempt underway behind the scenes at the Democratic National Committee. President Biden’s cognitive conflicts are widespread and have been well-documented for quite some time.
The public was well aware of his 80-something mental and physical problems, yet his team called for a Trump debate in late June, with less than four months until the election? Did they spread this publicly in the hope that they would have enough time to find a replacement for him?
No one was shocked by what happened in the first presidential debate. Any Democrat who claims to be shocked is dishonest.
They used a fake Oval Office set, a teleprompter big enough for Biden to deliver his speech. They used cheat sheets to direct every move. They even gave him a shorter stride so he wouldn’t fall off Air Force One.
Think about it. These 25 Democrats and others quietly mumbling in the background saw President Biden putting America at risk with his obvious weaknesses. But they weren’t ready to actually do anything about it until he started putting their reelection chances at risk.
