Mikie Sherrill&#8217;s call for President Joe Biden to withdraw from the\u2064 presidential race due\u200c to\u2062 concerns about his candidacy and ability to defeat former President Donald\u200d Trump. Sherrill praised Biden&#8217;s work but argued that the\u2063 stakes are too \u200bhigh to risk losing to Trump. She is the seventh House Democrat to call \u200bfor Biden to suspend his candidacy. Despite acknowledging Biden&#8217;s accomplishments, Sherrill and other Democrats believe the party needs someone \u2062who can effectively address the urgent threat that Trump poses to democracy. \u2062Lawmakers\u200c are divided on the issue,\u2062 but \u200dthe clock is ticking towards the party&#8217;s nominating convention in August.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><a class=\"tdb-logo-a\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" title=\"Washington Examiner\"><span class=\"tdb-logo-img-wrap\"><\/span><span class=\"tdb-logo-text-wrap\"><span class=\"tdb-logo-text-title\">Washington Examiner<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">\n<div class=\"tdb-search-form-inner\"><input class=\"tdb-head-search-form-input\" placeholder=\" \" type=\"text\" value name=\"s\" autocomplete=\"off\"><button class=\"wpb_button wpb_btn-inverse btn tdb-head-search-form-btn\" title=\"Search\" type=\"submit\"><span>Search<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><a class=\"tdb-logo-a\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" title=\"Washington Examiner\"><span class=\"tdb-logo-img-wrap\"><\/span><span class=\"tdb-logo-text-wrap\"><span class=\"tdb-logo-text-title\">Washington Examiner<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Seventh House Democrat calls on Biden to withdraw despite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ny-gov-cuomo-shunned-experts-embraced-lobbyists-drove-top-health-officials-to-quit-over-pandemic-response-report\/\" title=\"NY Gov.

That meeting allowed lawmakers to discuss concerns about whether Biden could defeat Trump in November or if he could carry out a second term. <\/p>\n<p>Sherrill, like many other members of her party, praised Biden for the accomplishments of his administration since being sworn in. However, the New Jersey Democrat argued the party needs someone who can \u201cturn the nation\u2019s attention to the urgent threat that Trump presents to our democracy,\u201d something Democrats lamented Biden was unable to do during the first presidential debate last month.<\/p>\n<p>Following Biden\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-democrats-emerge-from-closed-door-meeting-divided-on-bidens-fate-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"House Democrats emerge from closed-door meeting divided on Biden&#039;s fate - Washington Examiner\">debate performance combined<\/a> with months of gaffes and mishaps, eyes turned to congressional Democrats to determine if they should throw a lifeline to the president\u2019s political future. <\/p>\n<p>But lawmakers this week have made only one thing clear: No one is on the same page regarding Biden \u2014 but time may be running out to make a top-ballot switch before the party\u2019s nominating convention in August.<\/p>\n<p>House Democratic Caucus Chairman Pete Aguilar (D-CA) said as of right now, the party has \u201ctwin goals\u201d: preventing Trump from being reelected and winning the House majority in November. <\/p>\n<p>When asked if Biden has done enough to assuage concerns from voters, Aguilar said, \u201cWe\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\"><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s see the press conference.
