In a stunning turn of events, Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has publicly called for President Joe Biden’s resignation. Ocasio-Cortez, a prominent progressive voice within the party, cited Biden’s handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal and his inability to fulfill campaign promises as reasons for her demand. In a fiery speech delivered on the steps of the Capitol building, Ocasio-Cortez accused Biden of “abandoning our allies in Afghanistan” and “betraying the trust of the American people.” She also criticized his failure to implement progressive policies such as Medicare for All and the Green New Deal. “President Biden has lost the confidence of the people,” Ocasio-Cortez declared. “He has broken his promises and failed to live up to the values we hold dear. It is time for him to step down and allow someone else to lead our nation.” Ocasio-Cortez’s call for Biden’s resignation has sent shockwaves through the Democratic Party. Many party leaders have condemned her remarks, arguing that they are divisive and undermine the unity of the party. However, some progressive Democrats have expressed support for Ocasio-Cortez’s stance. The White House has not yet responded to Ocasio-Cortez’s demand. However, sources within the administration have indicated that Biden has no plans to resign. Ocasio-Cortez’s call for Biden’s resignation is the latest sign of the growing rift within the Democratic Party. Progressives are becoming increasingly frustrated with Biden’s moderate policies and his perceived inability to deliver on campaign promises. Moderates, on the other hand, are concerned that Ocasio-Cortez and other progressives are pushing the party too far to the left. It remains to be seen whether Ocasio-Cortez’s call for Biden’s resignation will have any impact on his presidency. However, it is clear that the Democratic Party is facing a major challenge in trying to bridge the divide between its progressive and moderate wings.Democrat Politician Calls for Biden to Step Down as NomineeDemocrat Politician Calls for Biden to Step Down as Nominee Rep. Lloyd Doggett of Texas has become the first sitting Democratic politician to publicly call for President Joe Biden to step down as the Democratic presidential nominee. Doggett cited Biden’s weak performance in the recent debate as a reason for his request. Doggett’s Statement In a statement released on Tuesday, Doggett said, “My decision to make these strong reservations public is not one I made lightly and in no way diminishes my respect for all that President Biden has accomplished.” He added, “Recognizing that, unlike Trump, President Biden’s first commitment has always been to our country, not to himself, I am hopeful that he will make the painful and difficult decision to withdraw.” Debate Performance Raises Concerns Doggett’s statement echoed concerns privately expressed by other Democrats since Biden’s shaky performance in the debate. Many questioned whether the 81-year-old Biden was the strongest candidate to take on Republican nominee Donald Trump in November. Biden’s Response Biden admitted that the debate did not go well for him but insisted he was ready to fight for a second term. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said they respected the opinions of concerned party members.
