Those calls come in response to the president\u2019s debate performance against Donald Trump as Biden repeatedly lost his train of thought and failed to challenge the former president in the way Democrats had hoped.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA large part of me still wants to stay in the fight,\u201d the theoretical speech posed. \u201cBut, at this moment, the nation needs something I cannot provide: a leader with the energy to run a vigorous campaign and then to work for America, at all hours, for the next four years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The speech walked through Biden\u2019s decadeslong service in U.S. politics, acknowledging that his \u201cseason of service is nearing its close.\u201d The speech cited George Washington\u2019s decision to step down from office \u201cthough the Constitution at the time did not require it,\u201d noting the first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-trump-book-publisher-sergio-gor-we-cant-keep-up-with-the-demand\/\" title=\"Exclusive -- Trump Book Publisher Sergio Gor: &#039;We Can\u2019t Keep Up with the Demand&#039;\">president understood<\/a> when his time of service came to a close. <\/p>\n<p>In the speech, the outlet suggested Biden would call for a new process to find his replacement, which would include debates for candidates to make their case ahead of the party\u2019s nominating convention in August. In the theoretical speech, Vice President Kamala Harris has offered herself as a willing participant, reflecting many in the party who have looked to the current No. 2 as a logical replacement should Biden withdraw from the race. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBetween now and November, I will do all I can to support the next Democratic nominee \u2014 and to encourage Americans to rediscover the optimism and energetic spirit that built this nation,\u201d the artificial speech said.<\/p>\n<p>The editorial comes after Biden\u2019s worse-than-expected performance in the first presidential debate last week, prompting some Democrats to openly admit they expect to lose the White House in November. <\/p>\n<p>Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) became the first sitting House Democrat to call on Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race on Tuesday and was quickly followed by Reps. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) and Seth Moulton (D-MA). Former Rep. Tim Ryan also came out on Tuesday to call on Harris to step up as the party\u2019s 2024 nominee, calling Biden\u2019s debate performance \u201cdeeply troubling\u201d and evidence the party must move forward. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\"><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The White House has remained confident in Biden\u2019s abilities to serve a second term, brushing off suggestions that the president should step down or back out of the race.
