Rep. Adam Schiff calls on Biden to drop out of election contest, warns of losing Congress

California Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff on Wednesday urged President Joe Biden to exit the 2024 presidential election contest.

Schiff in a statement said that he had “serious concerns about whether the President can defeat Donald Trump in November.”

“While the choice to withdraw from the campaign is President Biden’s alone, I believe it is time for him to pass the torch,” said Schiff, the Democratic nominee for a U.S. Senate seat from California who is a strong favorite to win in November.
