Dem Rep. Brad Schneider Calls For Biden To Step Aside

The Hill reports:

Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.) became the 11th House Democrat to publicly call on President Biden to withdraw from the 2024 race, saying in a statement Thursday that it is “time to pass the torch.”

Schneider said that while he is grateful for Biden’s leadership and service, he believes the stakes of this year’s election are too high and warned of the implications of a second White House term under former President Trump.

“President Biden now has the opportunity to secure his legacy and boldly deliver the nation to a new generation of leadership,” Schneider wrote. “The stakes in this election could not be higher.”
