A growing number of Democratic lawmakers are urging President Joe Biden to withdraw from his bid for a second term following a series of missteps, including a widely criticized debate performance.

According to a recent poll, Biden's approval ratings have plummeted to a record low, with only 38% of Americans supporting his job performance. The poll also found that 62% of Democrats believe Biden should not seek reelection.

In light of these findings, several prominent Democratic lawmakers have publicly called for Biden to step aside. Among them is Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who said in a recent interview that it is time for a "new generation of leadership" in the Democratic Party.

Biden has repeatedly stated that he intends to run for reelection, but some in his party believe that his recent stumbles have damaged his chances of winning. If Biden were to end his campaign before the Democratic National Convention, the pledged delegates would be released and could cast their ballots for a new candidate.

The DNC rules also outline what would happen if there were a vacancy on the ticket after Biden was formally nominated. In such a case, the Democratic National Committee would be tasked with selecting a replacement nominee.

Conclusion

The growing pressure on Biden to reconsider his reelection bid is a sign of the deep dissatisfaction within the Democratic Party. If Biden does not address the concerns of his party members, he could face a serious challenge from a primary opponent or a Republican challenger in the general election.
