Democratic Senator Peter Welch (D-VT) has become the first senator to publicly call on President Joe Biden to withdraw from the presidential race.

This call comes as Welch joins other Democratic figures, including retiring Representative Earl Blumenauer, in urging Biden to reconsider his decision to stay in the race.
