New Jersey Democrat Rep. Mikie Sherrill is calling on President Biden to step aside.
“I know that President Biden and his team have been true public servants and have put the country and the best interests of democracy first and foremost in their considerations,” Sherrill said. “And because I know President Biden cares deeply about the future of our country, I am asking that he declare that he won’t run for reelection and will help lead us through a process toward a new nominee.”

Sherrill is now the seventh Democratic lawmaker who has called on President Biden to drop out of the race.
Meanwhile, in the upper chamber, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is standing behind the embattled POTUS; “I’m with Joe,” Schumer told reporters on Tuesday.
“Are you confident that President Biden has what it takes to win in November and serve the next four years?”
“As I’ve said before, I’m with Joe,” Schumer said.
