Congressman Seth Moulton tells Boston Globe: ‘It was a crushing realisation … because everything is riding on Biden’s ability to beat Donald Trump’
A US congressman has said he decided to join calls for Joe Biden to exit the presidential race after the 81-year-old appeared not to recognise him at a recent event.
Seth Moulton, a Democratic congressman from Massachusetts, was one of the first Democrats to call for Biden to drop out of the race shortly after his disastrous debate performance last month. On Friday, Moulton ramped up his efforts to oust the president from the 2024 ticket in a damning op-ed for the Boston Globe.
