As discussion over President Joe Biden's political future continues, House Democrat Rep. Lloyd Doggett of Texas is calling on the president to drop out of the presidential race.

Doggett became the first Democrat currently sitting in Congress to publicly encourage President Biden to withdraw from the race. Although President Biden is not officially the nominee yet, as the presumptive nominee with the overwhelming majority of pledged delegates, he would largely have to exit the race on his own volition for Democrats to replace him as the nominee.

    Doggett's just 4 years less old than Biden, maybe he should take his own advice.

    We don't want to see a cut up interview by ABC we want to see a live interview!!!
  • If Kamala Harris replaces Joe Biden as the Democratic Presidential candidate in November, I think her V.P. pick should be Governor Gretchen Whitmore of Michigan.

    Like they really care about this frail old man. The only reason they are so eager to keep him up front is so they can do whatever they want behind the scene without any accountability. Power & money. No angels at that level with any party, but this admin took it to a different realm. They know he's going to go down & yet trying to feed on the very last crumbs before a full collapse. Vultures..

    I love how the press, including Scripps, continue to suppress the fact that many of us were pointing out this problem before Biden was even elected. This is not some sort of surprise.

    And replace him with who…it’s not the time
  • I noticed he didn't nominate himself if he thinks Biden is so bad
  • Harris? C'mon, man. She couldn't fill a glass of water with directions and her team helping her.

    Then maybe Texas Rep. Lloyd Doggett should take his own advice, maybe he should step down since he has Doubts. I still standing behind President Biden. I have his back and VP Harris back.
