Rep. Mikie Sherrill, D-N.J., urged Biden not to run for reelection and “help lead us through a process toward a new nominee” in a statement Tuesday, saying the “stakes are too high” for a second Trump presidency.

Reps. Adam Smith, D-Wash., Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., Mark Takano, D-Calif., and Joe Morelle, D-N.Y., all said Biden should withdraw from the race at a discussion of Democratic lawmakers Sunday, The New York Times and NBC News reported, citing sources with knowledge of the talks (Smith publicly called for Biden to drop out during an interview with CNN).

Rep. Angie Craig, D-Minn., called on Biden to step down from the race after Biden’s sit-down interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos citing both Biden’s poor debate performance and his “lack of a forceful response” in the week since the debate—Biden once again claimed in that interview the debate was a “bad episode” and not a sign of a condition, and refused to take a cognitive test.

Rep. Mike Quigley, D-Ill., argued Biden should drop out of the race in an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes, saying the “only thing” Biden has left to cement his legacy and “prevent utter catastrophe is to step down and let someone else do this.”

Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass.: Moulton lamented he no longer has confidence Biden could defeat former President Donald Trump in the November election, telling Boston NPR station WBUR Biden should “step aside to let new leaders rise up.”

Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas: Doggett was the first sitting Democratic lawmaker to push for Biden to step aside last week, explaining he “had hoped that the debate would provide some momentum,” but Biden instead “failed to effectively defend his many accomplishments and expose Trump’s many lies.”

Rep. Raúl Grijalva, D-Ariz., joined Doggett as the second sitting congressional Democrat calling on Biden to step down, telling The New York Times Biden has a “responsibility” to remove himself from the race.

Julian Castro: The Obama-era secretary of housing and urban development and early 2020 Democratic primary candidate argued Biden should “absolutely” take himself out of the race, saying Vice President Kamala Harris should take over on the Democratic ticket.

Former Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio: Biden’s former opponent for the 2020 nomination said he believes Harris is the party’s “best path forward” in a Newsweek op-ed, calling Harris an opportunity for “generational change.”

Wealthy Biden supporters: Billionaires Christy Walton, Michael Novogratz and Reed Hastings—all of whom have given to pro-Biden or anti-Trump groups at various points—have urged Biden to step aside, while Mark Cuban has said Democrats should assess whether another person can step in as the nominee.

The New York Times Editorial Board: “To serve his country, President Biden should leave the race” the left-leaning panel declared in a headline the day after the debate, followed by similar calls from the editorial boards of The Chicago Tribune, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and The Boston Globe.

Thomas Friedman: Acknowledging his friendship with Biden and describing how he wept while watching what he called a “heartbreaking” debate, the Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times columnist wrote that Biden “has no business running for re-election” and the Democratic Party should conduct a new “open process in search of a Democratic presidential nominee.”

Nicholas Kristof: In a column published just hours after the debate ended, fellow New York Times columnist Kristof wrote that Biden’s debate performance “reinforced the narrative” he is too old to serve as president, and urged the president to announce his retirement before the convention, giving his delegates the chance to select another Democratic nominee, such as Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown or Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo.

Paul Krugman: “The best president of my life needs to withdraw,” was the headline on a third New York Times columnist’s plea, with Krugman acknowledging “maybe some Biden loyalists will consider this a betrayal, given how much I have supported his policies, but I fear that we need to recognize reality.”

David Remnick: The editor of the New Yorker wrote that Biden appeared to “wander into senselessness onstage,” and that remaining on the ticket “would be an act not only of self-delusion but of national endangerment.”

David Ignatius: Reiterating a view he expressed in a September column that Biden should not run, The Washington Post foreign affairs columnist wrote in a post-debate piece that Biden has been insulated by his close circle of aides and confidants, including his wife, Jill Biden, who have dismissed calls that he should step aside and “have been protective—to a fault.”

Mark Leibovich: The Atlantic staff writer and former New York Times Magazine national correspondent headlined his column “Time To Go, Joe” after the debate, calling it a “disaster” and writing that Biden “looked old, sounded old, and yes, is in fact very, very old.”

Joe Scarborough: Declaring that he “love[s]” Biden, the host of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” (a program Biden reportedly follows closely) gently suggested the morning after the debate that the president should bow out of the race, asking the rhetorical question “if he were CEO, and he turned in a performance like that, would any corporation in America keep him on?”

Chandler West: Former White House director of photography from January 2021 through May 2022, West wrote on Instagram that “it’s time for Joe to go,” Axios reported, citing screenshots of West’s story in which he said White House operatives have said privately for months that Biden is “not as strong as he was just a couple of years ago,” and a subsequent text message from West to Axios predicting that the debate is “not gonna be the last” bad day for Biden.

James Carville: Biden “shouldn’t be” the nominee, the longtime Democratic political consultant told Politico, after saying the Biden campaign used his name in a post-debate fundraising text without his permission, and also told Axios he thinks Biden will end his campaign before Election Day, paraphrasing a quote by economist Herb Stein, “that which can’t continue . . . won’t.”

Andrew Yang: Biden’s former 2020 opponent for the Democratic nomination wrote in his blog that he was “wrong” for having confidence Biden’s team could prepare him for the debate, describing Biden as “old and shuffling” when he saw him in February, while writing that Biden is “running an unwinnable race” and “doing wrong by the country” for continuing his candidacy.

Cenk Uygur: Less than 30 minutes into the debate, the host and founder of left-wing political podcast, The Young Turks, who also briefly ran for the Democratic nomination this year, tweeted that the show would “start talking about who should replace Biden. Because at this point it’s obvious that it definitely MUST happen.”
