Former Biden staffer calls for president to decline nomination after debate performance: ‘Very heavy heart’
Fox News
A Democrat who worked for President Biden during the Clinton administration has called for him to step down from the race following the debate.
"And so, it's with a very heavy heart and deep sadness that I've come to the conclusion that the best step for the Democratic Party and for the country is for President Biden to announce that he will not seek the Democratic Party's nomination to be the presidential candidate," Metzl said.
Metzl said he believes Biden did an "excellent" job in his first term, adding that before he took office, "we had significant attacks on our democracy and literally an attack on our Capitol. Our alliances were in shambles. So, I think that President Biden has done actually a quite good job. Certainly not perfect. And there’s lots of things that I and we can and should criticize."
