Another Democratic Congressman has recommended that Joe Biden withdraw from the 2024 presidential race following his disastrous debate performance last week.
As concerns about Biden’s diminishing cognitive faculties mount within the left, more Democrats are openly urging the 81-year-old to exit the race.
Arizona Rep. Raúl Grijalva is the latest to make this call, stating to The New York Times that Biden has a “responsibility” to the party to step down.
“If he’s the candidate, I’m going to support him, but I think that this is an opportunity to look elsewhere,” Grijalva said. “What he needs to do is shoulder the responsibility for keeping that seat — and part of that responsibility is to get out of this race.”

Grijalva’s comments follow Texas Rep. Lloyd Doggett’s call for Biden to withdraw from the race, making him the first Democratic Congressman to do so.
This comes in light of polls suggesting that Donald Trump could potentially win the presidential election by a significant margin.
“My decision to make these strong reservations public is not done lightly nor does it in any way diminish my respect for all that President Biden has achieved,” Doggett said in a statement.
“Recognizing that, unlike Trump, President Biden’s first commitment has always been to our country, not himself, I am hopeful that he will make the painful and difficult decision to withdraw.”
In a report on Wednesday, Reuters stated that approximately 25 Congressional Democrats are close to urging Joe Biden to step aside for another candidate, with one aide noting that it appears “the floodgates have opened.”
“There are 25 Democratic members of the House of Representatives preparing to call for Biden to step aside if he seems shaky in coming days, according to one House Democratic aide,” the agency reported.
“A second House Democratic aide said moderate House Democrats in competitive districts – often called “frontliners” – were getting hammered with questions in their districts this week.”
