Rep. Adam Schiff calls on Biden to drop out of the race
“While the choice to withdraw from the campaign is President Biden’s alone, I believe it is time for him to pass the torch. And in doing so, secure his legacy of leadership by allowing us to defeat Donald Trump in the upcoming election,” Schiff said in a statement.
The California Democrat, who is running for US Senate and served as an impeachment manager during one of Trump’s impeachments, has been one of the sharpest critics of the former president.
Schiff is the first Democrat to publicly call on Biden to leave the race since the failed assassination attempt on Trump over the weekend.
This story is breaking and will be updated.
Given the context, two suitable sentences that contain the word 'politics' could be:
"Schiff's criticisms of Trump have been a significant part of the political landscape during the past few years."
"Regardless of Biden's decision, the politics surrounding the upcoming election are expected to remain intense and divisive."
