Even Adam Schiff is calling for Biden to drop out of the presidential race.
In a statement, Schiff said, “While the choice to withdraw from the campaign is President Biden’s alone, I believe it is time for him to pass the torch.” He added that he has, “serious concerns about whether the President can defeat Donald Trump in November.”
Take a look:
Adam Schiff just called on Joe Biden to drop out.
Schiff says he has “serious concerns” about Biden.
It doesn’t matter who Democrats will run with.
It’s Dem policies that have been harmful.

The Los Angeles Times was first to report:
Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Burbank), who is running for U.S. Senate in California, is calling for President Biden to drop out of the presidential race, he said in an exclusive statement Wednesday to The Times.
Schiff, who is heavily favored to win his Senate race, cited “serious concerns” that Biden can beat former President Trump in November.
ADVERTISEMENTHe is the latest Democrat to call for the incumbent president of their own party to end his campaign amid growing concerns about Biden’s age and mental fitness to do the job — which began in earnest after a disastrous debate performance last month where Biden at times appeared confused.
In his statement, Schiff said Biden “has been one of the most consequential presidents in our nation’s history, and his lifetime of service as a Senator, a Vice President, and now as President has made our country better.”
“But our nation is at a crossroads,” he said. “A second Trump presidency will undermine the very foundation of our democracy, and I have serious concerns about whether the President can defeat Donald Trump in November.”
Schiff said the “choice to withdraw from the campaign is President Biden’s alone,” but that he believes it is time for Biden “to pass the torch” and “secure his legacy of leadership” by allowing another Democrat to beat Trump.
Axios added:
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Wednesday joined the ranks of Democratic members of Congress calling for President Biden to exit the 2024 presidential race.
Why it matters: Schiff is the most high-profile elected Democrat to call for Biden’s withdrawal and the first to do so publicly since former President Trump was shot in an assassination attempt on Saturday.
What he’s saying: “While the choice to withdraw from the campaign is President Biden’s alone, I believe it is time for him to pass the torch,” Schiff said in a statement, which was first reported by the Los Angeles Times.
- In withdrawing, Schiff added, Biden could “secure his legacy of leadership by allowing us to defeat Donald Trump in the upcoming election.”
- “A second Trump presidency will undermine the very foundation of our democracy, and I have serious concerns about whether the President can defeat Donald Trump in November,” he said.
The Democrat party is destroying itself from the inside out…
It remains to be seen whether Biden will heed Schiff’s advice or not.
Either way, I think we’re going to see a landslide victory for Trump this November — and a major America-First comeback for our country!
What do you think?
Here’s what people are saying on social media:
Schiff is top deep-state.
This is threat.
Biden will be out Monday after Netanyahu sits down with him.

Maybe Shifty Schiff should drop out too…
Garvey out fundraised him yesterday. Hope people reject the pencil neck when voting. It would be glorious.
