'The stakes are too high': More Democrats call on Biden to quit White House race
US President Joe Biden speaks during the NATO 75th Anniversary Celebratory Event at the Mellon Auditorium in Washington, DC. Donald Trump is on course to win the election, said Senator Michael Bennet.A growing number of Democrats in the US Congress said they worried that US President Joe Biden could not beat Donald Trump in the 5 November election, though they emerged from closed-door meetings on Tuesday with no plans for collective action.
If Trump wins the White House and Republicans win majorities in both chambers of Congress, he will face few obstacles in pursuit of major policy changes. Democrats already face an uphill battle to protect their 51-49 Senate majority, as they must defend multiple seats in Republican-leaning states.
Senate Majority Leader Schumer brushed off questions about Biden's fitness, saying three times:"I'm with Joe," during a brief exchange with reporters after Senate Democrats met over lunch to discuss the president's campaign. The nonpartisan Cook Political Report on Tuesday changed its ratings on three of the most competitive states - Arizona, Georgia and Nevada - to"lean Republican" from"toss-up", citing shifting voter views of Biden following the debate.
