...its' one thing when a Democrat in a safe district tells you to leave; its' quite another when a swing-state Dem in a marginal district tells you to leave....
(The Guardian) Swing state representative Angie Craig is the latest Democrat calling for Biden to exit
Representative Angie Craig, a Democrat of Minnesota, is among the latest to call on Biden to exit the presidential race.
“Given what I saw and heard from the president during last week’s debate in Atlanta, coupled with the lack of a forceful response from the President himself following that debate, I do not believe that the President can effectively campaign and win against Donald Trump,” she said Saturday morning.
Craig represents a swing district in suburban Minneapolis-St Paul. Some Democrats are concerned that Biden’s flailing candidacy could drag down House and Senate candidates down ballot. “This is not a decision I’ve come to lightly, but there is simply too much at stake to risk a second Donald Trump presidency,” Craig said in a statement. “That’s why I respectfully call on President Biden to step aside as the Democratic nominee for a second term as president and allow for a new generation of leaders to step forward.”
She called for “an open, fair, and transparent democratic process to select a new nominee”.
