Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) has joined the growing number of Democrat lawmakers calling for President Joe Biden to end his increasingly quixotic reelection campaign against Donald Trump. Brown followed a boilerplate template used by many almost three dozen Democrat lawmakers, insisting he consulted with constituents before making his decision, and then rattling off a handful of poll-tested campaign priorities.
I agree with the many Ohioans who have reached out to me,” Brown concluded his statement. At this critical time, our full attention must return to these important issues. I think the President should end his campaign.
The call for Biden’s resignation comes as he continues to lose prominent support while dragging down ballot candidates with him. These candidates are turning on the corrupt president in an effort to stop their own political bleeding. Trump’s gangbusters Republican National Convention, culminating in a marathon speech Thursday night only days after being shot, stood in stark contrast to Biden’s few stage-managed appearances, triggering a renewed surge of Democrats calling for Biden to resign on Friday.
Brown is the latest to call for Biden’s resignation, but the list is sure to continue growing as powerbrokers press for Biden to resign for the good of the party. The Ohioan had previously refused to abandon Biden in the days and weeks following his disastrous June 27 debate performance, which sparked an eruption of questions regarding Biden’s capabilities.
