During a recent interview, Rep. Jared Moskowitz, a Democrat from Florida, addressed the growing calls within his party for President Biden to step aside from the presidential race. Moskowitz emphasized that the decision for Biden to continue or withdraw from the race should ultimately rest with the President himself.
As of the latest count, 34 Democrats have publicly voiced their support for Biden to exit the race. However, Moskowitz clarified that he personally was not advocating for Biden's withdrawal, highlighting the importance of Biden making an independent decision on the matter.
Moskowitz underscored the broader strategic considerations facing Democrats in the upcoming election season. While the primary goal is to defeat President Trump, Moskowitz pointed out the significance of looking at the election landscape comprehensively, including the races for Senate and House seats.
He noted that in addition to winning the presidency, Democrats also aim to secure control of either the House or the Senate to act as a check on Trump's potential second term. Moskowitz suggested that a balanced outcome, where Trump remains in office but faces a Democratic-controlled legislative branch, could provide a more effective governance structure for the country.
