It is another pivotal week for President Joe Biden.

Democratic lawmakers continue to question whether he should exit the 2024 presidential

race after his faltering debate against former President Donald Trump. who share my concern but have not gone public.

I think he should step aside.

I think it's become clear that he's not the best person to carry the Democratic message.

I see Mr President, your legacy is set.

We owe you the greatest debt of gratitude.

The only thing that you can do now to cement that for all time

and prevent utter catastrophe

is to step down and let someone else do this.

And those voices you heard were Representative Seth Moulton of Massachusetts, Representative

Adam Smith of Washington, and Representative Mike Quigley of Illinois, all Democrats.

It's important to note we're still talking about a small number of people, but we know from

our reporting that the House Democratic Caucus is, and the Senate,

is deeply divided over Biden's candidacy,

whether he should remain at the top of the ticket.

Yasmin Abu Talib is a White House reporter for the post.

In the last couple days, we've seen President Biden

be pretty defiant.

I'm getting so frustrated by the elites.

Now, I'm not talking about you guys, but by the elite in the party who they know so much more.

But any of these guys don't think I should run against me.
