Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-Va.) is reportedly spearheading an effort to rally a group of Democratic senators to urge President Joe Biden to withdraw from the presidential race.
This initiative arises from mounting concerns about Biden’s capability to run a successful campaign against Donald Trump, especially after his recent faltering debate performance. The move reflects a growing sentiment among some Democratic senators that Biden, at 81 years old, is not the most viable candidate to secure victory in the upcoming election.
