- Several other Democrats openly calling for Biden to step aside
New York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other progressives in Congress are standing by President Joe Biden even as voices across the party call on him to step aside following his disastrous debate against Donald Trump.
Ocasio-Cortez and Minnesota Democrat Ilhan Omar — two members of the “Squad” of liberal lawmakers — signaled Monday that Biden should stay at the top of the ticket.
