Rep. Mike Levin (D-CA) became the 19th Democratic lawmaker to call on President Biden to withdraw from the ticket, Politico reports.
Said Levin: “I have deep respect for President Biden’s five plus decades of public service and incredible appreciation for the work we’ve done together these last three and a half years. But I believe the time has come for President Biden to pass the torch.”
