President Biden faces mounting pressure to withdraw from the 2024 ticket as leading Democrats warn he has just days to prove he can beat former President Donald Trump amid questions about his mental and physical fitness.

“The clock is ticking,” Sen. Chris Murphy, Connecticut Democrat, said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “This is going to be a really important and vital week for the country and for the president.” “Biden should be mopping the floor with Trump. It shouldn’t even be close,” he said, though he sidestepped questions about replacing Mr. Biden, neither giving him a full-throated endorsement nor saying he should step aside.
Those four lawmakers bring to nine the number of Congressional Democrats who want Mr. Biden to quit the race, and it’s a number that many expect will increase this week when lawmakers return to Capitol Hill from the July 4 recess. “Let me say this as clearly as I can. I’m staying in the race,” Mr. Biden told voters in Madison, Wisconsin on Friday.
