Peter Welch

Sen. Peter Welch (Vt.) is a Democratic senator who has become the first in his party to call for President Biden to withdraw from the presidential race following his June debate performance. In an op-ed published on The Washington Post, he expressed concerns about Biden's debatable performance and valid questions raised since then. He urged President Biden to withdraw for the good of the country, emphasizing that it is a necessary step despite potential political risks. This stance puts him at odds with some of his fellow Democrats like Sen. Bernie Sanders who believes that Biden could still win and should focus on his policies.
