Iowa Democratic candidate for U.S. House urges President Biden to withdraw from the 2024 contest

Iowa City, Iowa – The Democratic candidate challenging Republican Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks for the U.S. House seat, Christina Bohannan, is urging President Joe Biden to drop out of the 2024 presidential contest.

She stated that “it seems he is not up to the task” and that this election is about more than just one person in a press release on Thursday.

Following the president’s dismal debate performance against former President Donald Trump a few weeks ago, several Democrats are demanding that the president resign. There are a lot of other Democrats that support Biden.

In the weeks that followed the debate, Biden increased his campaign efforts in an attempt to allay worries held by voters and party members. After a NATO summit on Thursday night, he is expected to speak.

Full statement from Christina Bohannan

America deserves better than the choice for President we’re currently facing. This election is bigger than any one person. From protecting our reproductive rights and freedoms to giving the middle class a fair shot, to defending our democracy – the stakes are just too high.

The easy thing to do at this moment would be to stay silent. After all, many Washington politicians, both Democrat and Republican, put allegiance to their party over the people they represent. It is time for a change.

Over the past couple of weeks, people all across Iowa have shared with me their grave concerns about President Biden – that it seems he is not up to the task of a strong, vibrant campaign that will provide a compelling vision for our future. I owe it to them to speak my mind. It is time for President Biden to withdraw from this campaign and pass the torch to a new generation of leadership.
