First Democratic Sen. Peter Welch Urges Biden to Step Aside in 2024 Race
Jul 10, 2024, 11:23 PM
Senator Peter Welch (D-VT) has become the first Democratic senator to publicly call on President Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. In a Washington Post op-ed, Welch emphasized that Biden should step aside 'for the good of the country,' citing concerns from Vermonters about Biden's electability and fears of another Trump presidency. Welch also referenced Biden's 'disastrous debate performance' and the valid questions raised since that night. Welch's call, made on Wednesday, is joined by Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), marking a notable shift within the Democratic Party. Welch suggested that Biden should make way for a younger nominee.
