Leading House Democrat Calls for Biden to End Presidential Campaign
Representative Adam Smith (D-WA), the ranking Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, has called for President Joe Biden to step aside. Smith told CNN in an interview that he "thinks [Biden] should step aside. I think it's become clear that he is not the best person to carry the Democratic message." Smith is the first high-ranking Democrat to call for President Biden to step aside publicly.
