Texas Rep. Lloyd Doggett has publicly called on Joe Biden to end his bid for the presidency. Representative Doggett made this statement at a gathering in Laredo, Texas, expressing concerns about Biden’s ability to defeat President Trump in the upcoming election.
In his speech, Doggett highlighted Biden’s recent gaffes and questioned his ability to connect with voters. He stressed the importance of nominating a candidate who can energize the Democratic base and appeal to a wide range of voters. Doggett also pointed out the need for a candidate who can take on Trump’s divisive rhetoric and policies.
Doggett’s call for Biden to step aside comes as the Democratic primary race heats up, with several candidates vying for the nomination. Despite facing criticism from some within his own party, Biden has remained a front-runner in the polls, citing his experience and ability to work across party lines.
The criticism from Doggett reflects broader concerns within the Democratic Party about Biden’s candidacy. Some progressives have raised questions about Biden’s record on issues such as criminal justice reform and climate change, and have called for a more progressive candidate to lead the party in the general election.
As the race for the Democratic nomination continues, the pressure on Biden to prove his electability and connect with voters will only intensify. Doggett’s statement adds to the growing chorus of voices questioning Biden’s candidacy and urging the party to consider other options. It remains to be seen how Biden will respond to this criticism and whether it will impact his standing in the race.
