US Senator Peter Welch on Wednesday became the first Democratic senator to call on US President Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race after his poor performance in his first debate with Donald Trump last month. “We cannot unsee President Biden’s disastrous debate performance. We cannot ignore or dismiss the valid questions raised since that night,” Welch wrote in a Washington Post op-ed. Noting why he understands President Biden’s desire to run, he said: “He saved us from Donald Trump once and wants to do it again.” “But he needs to reassess whether he is the best candidate to do so.…
