Lloyd Doggett (D-TX)<\/h2>\n<p>On Tuesday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3067689\/first-house-democrat-lloyd-doggett-biden-withdraw-race\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Doggett became the first\">Doggett became the first<\/a> sitting member of Congress to say Biden should withdraw from the race. The longtime House Democrat praised the president but said he \u201cfailed to effectively defend his many accomplishments and expose Trump\u2019s many lies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRecognizing that unlike Trump, President Biden\u2019s first commitment has always been to our country, not himself, I am hopeful that he will make the painful and difficult decision to withdraw,\u201d Doggett said in a statement. \u201cI respectfully call on him to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Former Rep. Tim Ryan<\/h2>\n<p>Ryan, a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, wrote in a Monday op-ed that Harris should replace Biden as the party\u2019s nominee after a \u201cdeeply troubling\u201d debate performance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt isn\u2019t just about a 90-minute debate and a terrible performance,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3067226\/tim-ryan-calls-harris-take-over-biden-nominee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Ryan wrote\">Ryan wrote<\/a>. \u201cThis election needs to be about generational change \u2014 something about which I have been shouting for more than a year now.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Obama HUD Secretary Juli\u00e1n Castro<\/h2>\n<p>Castro, who was also a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate and has been critical of Biden in the past, said it was time for someone else to take the reins.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe that there are stronger options out there for Democrats,\u201d Castro said Tuesday on MSNBC. \u201cWe have a stable of folks who could do a better job, including Vice President [Kamala] Harris. It\u2019s too risky to let Donald Trump walk into this in November.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Colorado congressional candidate Adam Frisch<\/h2>\n<p>Frisch, who nearly unseated Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) in 2022 and is running for the open seat in Colorado\u2019s 3rd Congressional District, on Tuesday called on Biden to withdraw from the race.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been clear to me for some time, and the debate only reinforced it \u2014 neither candidate should be running for president,\u201d Frisch said in a video statement. \u201cWe deserve better. President Biden should do what\u2019s best for the country and withdraw from the race. I thank President Biden for his years of service, but the path ahead requires a new generation of leadership to take our country forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Presidential candidate Marianne Williamson<\/h2>\n<p>Williamson said Tuesday that Biden should be replaced.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Biden deserves our respect, our compassion, and our gratitude,\u201d Williamson said in a video statement. \u201cThe debate last week, however, made clear that the time is now for another Democratic candidate to take his place on the November ballot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, I throw my hat in the ring,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Former 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang<\/h2>\n<p>Yang, who left the Democratic Party in 2021 to become an independent, endorsed Biden\u2019s Democratic primary challenger this cycle, Rep.
