 Congressman Pat Ryan, Democrat from New York, posting today on X. Trump is an existential threat to American democracy. It is our duty to put forward the strongest candidate against him. Joe Biden is a patriot, but is no longer the best candidate to defeat Trump. For the good of our country, I'm asking Joe Biden to step aside, to deliver on his promise to be a bridge to a new generation of leaders. Congressman Ryan is now the eighth House Democrat to call on President Biden to end his run for president this year.
