Good evening. I'm Lisa Desjardin. John Yang is away. President Biden is facing more calls for

him to jump out of the 2024 race following a disappointing debate performance last week. Today, moderate Democratic Congresswoman Angie Craig

publicly declared that Biden should step aside as the party's nominee citing
