Colorado Democrat Adam Frisch is calling on Biden to drop out of the presidential race
Democratic congressional candidate Adam Frisch on Tuesday called on President Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race. He said the country needs “a new generation of leadership” after the president’s poor performance during last week’s presidential debate.
Frisch, who is running against Jeff Hurd in November for the seat in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, said in a video on X, formerly Twitter, that last week’s debate reinforced his belief that neither candidate is fit for president.
“We need a president who can unite America to realize our nation’s limitless potential. We deserve better. President Biden must withdraw from this race,” Frisch said, adding that while he thanks the president for his years of service, “the road ahead requires a new generation of leadership to move our country forward.”
I have been concerned about the state of the presidential race for some time now. Neither candidate is fit for office, but only Joe Biden has the power and decency to move us forward by stepping aside and passing the baton to the next generation of leaders. pic.twitter.com/G2CijTSVnF

Frisch on Tuesday became the second high-profile Democrat to publicly call on Biden to resign as the Democratic candidate for president. Less than an hour after the Colorado candidate made the announcement, Rep. Lloyd Doggett of Texas said Biden had to “make the painful and difficult decision to withdraw,” citing Biden’s debate performance against Donald Trump who failed “can effectively defend his many achievements. ”
