Some of Biden’s biggest fans say he should step aside
President Biden is facing a growing chorus of calls to step aside — calls from some of his biggest fans.
The list is a long one and it includes op-ed writers, pundits, and organizations that like and support Joe Biden. But after last week’s struggling debate performance by the president, even his biggest fans say it’s time for a change on the Democratic ticket.

So far, the president’s campaign is resisting those calls. GC, Wash.
