Pressure for President Joe Biden to step aside in his re-election campaign is mounting with two more Democratic lawmakers, Senator Jon Tester and House Representative Jim Costa, urging him to quit the race. This brings the total number of Congressional Democrats calling for Biden to drop out to 25. Concerns about Biden’s physical and mental fitness have been raised, particularly after a poor debate performance where he stumbled over his words and lost his train of thought. Despite these calls, Biden has maintained that he is the most qualified candidate to defeat his Republican challenger, Donald Trump. However, Trump’s standing in the polls has been rising since Biden’s debate performance, with some analysts predicting his numbers will improve further after surviving an assassination attempt during a recent campaign rally. The latest average of polls on the FiveThirtyEight website shows Trump leading by 3.1 percentage points nationally. Biden’s refusal to step aside may continue to bring challenges to his campaign as more Democrats express doubt about his ability to secure victory in November.
