President Joe Biden is facing pressure from Democratic lawmakers to leave the presidential race, with nearly a dozen lawmakers publicly urging him to drop out. The calls for Biden to step aside have grown to 32 congressional Democrats, including prominent figures like Sen. Martin Heinrich and Rep. Zoe Lofgren.
These calls for Biden to exit the race are seen as a significant break between party leaders and allies in enacting key elements of the Biden agenda. The situation has caused tension within the Democratic Party, with some lawmakers expressing concerns about the impact on crucial House and Senate races down the ballot.
