Representative Scott Peters from California said, “I have less and less confidence in this campaign’s ability to win this race. If we know we’re going to lose, we would be foolish not to look at another course.”
Minnesota Representative Angie Craig echoed these sentiments, urging Biden to consider stepping down. “I do not believe that the president can effectively campaign and win against Donald Trump,” she said.
The CNN Debate fallout….

Republicans including Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy took this to social media and predicted that Biden would withdraw soon from the race for the next US President.
The New York Times also reported that an unnamed senior White House official who has known Biden since his time as Vice President believes he should not seek reelection.
Geoff Duncan, a Republican and former lieutenant governor of Georgia said the debate was a “huge eye-opener” regarding the President’s “physical and mental well-being.”
