Texas Congressman Lloyd Doggett Calls for President Biden's Withdrawal from Nomination

Representative Lloyd Doggett of Texas has become the first sitting Democratic member of Congress to publicly urge President Joe Biden to step down. Doggett, who represents a congressional district once represented by Lyndon Johnson, stated that he respects Biden's achievements but believes the president failed to effectively defend his accomplishments during the recent debate against Donald Trump. He argues that Biden's performance was disappointing and that it is time for him to make a "painful and difficult decision" to withdraw from the presidency. Doggett's statement suggests that he does not think Biden can recover from this setback and that it would be better for the party if he stepped aside.
