A growing number of Democratic lawmakers are calling on President Biden to step aside for the November election. Representatives Gabe Vasquez from New Mexico, Seth Moulton from Massachusetts, and Morgan McGarvey from Kentucky have all spoken out against Biden’s candidacy, citing concerns about his health and ability to win re-election.
The White House has issued a statement regarding nationwide technology disruptions caused by outages of Microsoft devices due to an update to security software CrowdStrike. Biden is said to be receiving updates on the situation as the administration tracks progress in remediation efforts.
Meanwhile, Democratic officials are pushing for a virtual roll call vote at the Democratic National Convention to formally nominate Biden ahead of the August event. The move has sparked backlash from some Democrats who see it as an attempt to rush through Biden’s nomination before he potentially drops out of the race.
The process of potentially replacing Biden at the convention was discussed in a recent webinar hosted by Delegates Are Democracy and Welcome Party. The conversation highlighted the need for credible information to guide delegates through the complex process of selecting a new nominee if Biden were to withdraw.
Overall, the calls for Biden to step aside, the technology disruptions, and the push for a virtual roll call vote at the convention indicate a growing uncertainty surrounding the Democratic ticket for the upcoming election.
