In a recent dialogue with the LA Times, Representative Adam Schiff, a candidate for the seat left vacant by the late Senator Dianne Feinstein, urged President Biden to "pass the torch" and withdraw from the presidential race.
Schiff expressed "serious concerns" about Biden's ability to triumph over Trump in the upcoming November elections. Despite his reservations, Schiff acknowledged Biden's significant contributions to the nation, stating, "he has been one of the most consequential presidents in our nations history, and his lifetime of service as a Senator, a Vice President, and now as President has made our country better."
According to The Post Millennial, Schiff highlighted the critical juncture at which the nation stands. He warned, "A second Trump presidency will undermine the very foundation of our democracy," and reiterated his apprehensions about Biden's potential to defeat Trump. Schiff emphasized that the decision to withdraw from the race rests solely with Biden. However, he suggested that it might be time for Biden "to pass the torch" and "secure his legacy of leadership" by stepping down. Schiff's call for Biden's withdrawal echoes similar sentiments expressed by other Democratic politicians and commentators in the wake of Biden's lackluster debate performance.
Schiff pledged his support to any Democratic nominee, including Biden, asserting, "I will do everything I can to help them succeed. There is only one singular goal: defeating Donald Trump. The stakes are just too high." As this story continues to unfold, it underscores the high stakes and intense competition of the upcoming presidential race.
