 At one point, the president calling his running mate Vice President Trump. This is pressure amounts from fellow Democrats to leave the presidential race, where 17 House members and one senator are now calling for Biden to step down. ABC's Rachel Scott. Yet another Democrat, Congressman Jim Himes, has come out calling for the president to step aside tonight. Democrats telling me that they groaned and cringed when the president said Vice President Trump instead of Vice President Harris. But every Democrat that I talked to said they cannot believe they're in this scenario where the president's defending his age with four months to go.
