In the wake of President Joe Biden’s poor performance in last week’s CNN debate, Texas Rep. Lloyd Doggett has called for him to end his re-election campaign. Doggett, 77 years old, believes that Biden must withdraw from the race if he wants to give the Democratic Party the best chance of defeating Trump in the upcoming elections. He made his concerns clear in a statement, emphasizing the need for a candidate who can save democracy from authoritarian threats.

Despite calls from other Democrats like former Senator Claire McCaskill and legislator Jamie Raskin for Biden to reconsider his campaign, the president has received support from his family and close advisers.
Biden remains committed to continuing his campaign for re-election despite these challenges. His son, Hunter Biden, has been a strong advocate for his father’s candidacy and emphasizes the persona of Biden that he knows and respects. While concerns about Biden’s campaign have been raised by figures like former President Barack Obama and media outlets like The New York Times, the president remains determined to fight for another term in office.
In this controversy, a CNN poll revealed that a majority of voters believe Democrats would have a better chance of winning the White House if Biden were not running as their candidate. Other Democrats like Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Gavin Newsom have been mentioned as possible replacements but would still trail behind Trump in a hypothetical presidential race. The poll also showed a decline in Biden’s approval rating with 45% of respondents strongly disapproving of his performance marking new low in his support.
