Joe Biden asked to step aside in race for US president

In a shocking turn of events, Congressman Lloyd Doggett has made headlines by becoming the first sitting Democratic lawmaker to publicly call on Joe Biden to step aside in the race for the US presidency. This development comes amidst growing concerns over Biden’s ability to defeat current President Donald Trump in the upcoming election.

Despite being a longtime supporter of the Democratic party, Doggett has expressed serious doubts about Biden’s ability to lead the country effectively. With concerns over Biden’s age and potential cognitive decline, Doggett believes that it is time for the former Vice President to step aside and allow a stronger candidate to take his place.

This call for Biden to step aside has sparked a fierce debate within the Democratic party, with some rallying behind Doggett’s call for change while others remain loyal to Biden. As the race for the presidency heats up, it remains to be seen how this development will impact Biden’s campaign and the overall Democratic strategy moving forward.
