U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett of Texas is I think the first sitting Democratic member of Congress to call for Biden to opt out of running for reelection. www.texastribune.org/2024/07/02/l...

So, the 77 y/o from Texas is saying President Biden needs to get out of the race? Pot and kettle comes to mind.

Is Lloyd Doggett standing down from Congress and not running again? He’s pretty old too.

Lloyd's only four years younger with no sign of retiring. Maybe this isn't just a Biden thing. Maybe we shouldn't have folks this old running for office at all.

Caving never works in the long run for Democrats. Betrayal is a bad look. Whoever told him to do this gave him bad advice.

Did they just, like, forget that the party picks its candidate through a primary process, and the primaries already happened? I don’t understand how all these people in congress don’t understand high school civics.

From the looks of it, I'd say Doggett needs to step down due to his age, so: You first Doggett!
