Rep. Sean Casten, D-Ill., made headlines on Friday by joining a growing number of Congressional Democrats calling on President Biden to step aside from the presidential race. Casten, representing southwest Chicago since 2019, penned an op-ed for the Chicago Tribune expressing his belief that it was time for Biden to pass the torch to a new generation.
In his op-ed, Casten emphasized the importance of Biden exiting the race with dignity and decency, suggesting that doing so would solidify his legacy as the President who saved democracy in 2020 and entrusted it to capable hands for 2024.
