 Schiff is the highest ranking Democrat to call for Biden to step aside in the 2024 race. Schiff himself is running for Senate in California and is seen as the front runner in that race by a large margin. In his letter to Biden, Schiff said, quote, 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. This is in spite of the fact that Biden has called for more civility in politics in America following the failed assassination attempt against Donald Trump.
