Virginia Sen. Mark Warner is reportedly working to assemble a group of Democratic senators to encourage President Joe Biden to withdraw from the race, as per a recent report by The Washington Post. This move comes in the wake of heightened scrutiny and renewed concerns about Biden's age and mental acuity following a lackluster performance in a recent presidential debate.
Since the debate, the White House has been dealing with the aftermath, including mounting pressure from some Democrats for Biden to reassess his decision to seek reelection. Sources cited by the Post indicate that Warner is apprehensive about Biden's ability to mount a successful campaign against former President Donald Trump and has reportedly suggested that the president should step aside.
Warner's spokeswoman, Rachel Cohen, neither confirmed nor denied the senator's stance on Biden's reelection bid. Instead, she conveyed to the Post that Warner, like many others in Washington and across the nation, views this as a pivotal moment for the president's campaign and has communicated this sentiment to the White House.
