Schiff is at least the 20th House Democrat to call for Biden to leave the race.
In a statement to the Los Angeles Times, Schiff said that Biden “has been one of the most consequential presidents in our nation’s history, and his lifetime of service as a senator, a vice president, and now as president has made our country better.… But our nation is at a crossroads. A second Trump presidency will undermine the very foundation of our democracy, and I have serious concerns about whether the president can defeat Donald Trump in November.
” Earlier this month, actor and major Democratic fundraiser George Clooney wrote an op-ed saying Biden should step down; according to Politico, before the piece was published, Clooney “reached out to former president Barack Obama to give him a heads-up,” and, “while Obama did not encourage or advise Clooney to say what he said, he also didn’t object to it.
