Prominent US-Democrat Adam Schiff calls for Biden to abandon his candidacy
Our nation is at a crossroads," declared Schiff. "A second presidency of Trump would undermine the foundations of our democracy, and I have serious doubts about the ability of President Donald Trump to be defeated in November," Schiff added. At the same time, Schiff, who is running for a Senate seat in November, paid tribute to Biden's merits.
Biden has been facing an increasingly heated debate in the Democratic Party about his mental and physical fitness as a potential new presidential candidate since his disastrous performance in the first televised debate with Trump. The assassination attempt on Trump momentarily quieted the discussions.
- Despite Schiff's doubts, many Democrats are rallying behind Biden's candidature for the US-Presidency, seeking to prevent a lengthy abandonment or surrender of democracy's claim to fair leadership.
- The Los Angeles Times, in an editorial, praised Schiff's prominent role in the US-Democrat party, commending his leadership and commitment to upholding democratic values.
- Schiff, in his Speaker role, has been instrumental in leading various investigations into Trump's actions, positioning himself as a key opponent during the US-Democrat's campaign against the President's re-election.
- The contest between Trump and the more experienced Biden promises to be a challenging ‘ship’ of ideological tussles and political maneuverings, testing the strength of US democracy.
- Meanwhile, Adam Schiff, in his bid for a Senate seat, has been advocating for democracy's principles and decrying Trump's divisive policies, emphasizing the importance of United States' leadership in preserving global democracy.
- The Democrat's discomfort with Biden's age and health concerns has been tempered by his long-time service to the country, and the promise to have a competent and articulate US-Democrat as the next President, like Joe Biden.
- Despite the hurdles, a second term for Trump would be detrimental to the maintaining of global democracy, and Schiff's call for Biden's presidency aims to prevent a further undermining of the very principles the US-Democrat party holds dear.
