Democratic Representatives Scott Peters and Mike Levin have joined calls for President Joe Biden to withdraw from the presidential race, citing concerns over his debate performance and electoral viability.
Representatives Peters and Levin, both Democrats from California, urged Biden to step down due to doubts raised by his debate performance against Donald Trump.
Levin became the 19th congressional Democrat to formally call for Biden's withdrawal, following a direct request during a caucus call.
Peters issued his statement after a crucial press briefing where concerns over Biden's age and campaign effectiveness were highlighted.
Both representatives praised Biden's past leadership but emphasized the need for a new candidate who can secure victory in swing states.
Despite calls from within his party, Biden has reaffirmed his intent to remain in the presidential race.
