Colorado Rep. Brittany Pettersen and Rep. Mike Levin of California are the latest of several congressional Democrats to call for Biden to step aside in the wake of Biden’s Thursday NATO press briefing, during which he made several gaffes. Democratic Reps. Jim Himes of Connecticut, Scott Peters of California and Eric Sorensen of Illinois also called on Biden to step down following the briefing, with Peters saying that “we are on a losing course” keeping Biden in the race, according to NBC News.
“Joe Biden saved our country once, and I’m joining the growing number of people in my district and across the country to ask him to do it again. Please pass the torch to one of our many capable Democratic leaders so we have the best chance to defeat Donald Trump, who is the greatest threat to the foundation of this country that we have ever faced,” Pettersen said in her statement Friday.
