Biggest Defection Yet: Swing State Dem Senator Up for Re-Election Tells Biden to Get Out
In the ongoing soap opera “As Biden’s Candidacy Turns,” we may have seen the biggest plot twist yet: a swing-state senator up for re-election, telling Biden publicly that he needs to quit.
In a short, tersely worded statement Friday night, Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown urged President Joe Biden to drop his campaign for a second term, joining 35 Democrats in Congress, Forbes reported.
“Over the last few weeks, I’ve heard from Ohioans on important issues, such as how to continue to grow jobs in our state, give law enforcement the resources to crack down on fentanyl, protect Social Security and Medicare from cuts, and prevent the ongoing efforts to impose a national abortion ban,” he wrote in a statement.
