The first sitting House Democrat called on President Joe Biden to stand down as the party’s nominee, joining a chorus of prominent anti-Trump politicians, pundits and columnists who have urged Biden to step aside in the race after what was widely viewed as a disastrous debate performance—with even some top elected Democrats tempering their comments on Biden.

Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas: Doggett became the first sitting Democratic lawmaker to push for Biden to step aside Tuesday, explaining he “had hoped that the debate would provide some momentum,” but Biden instead “failed to effectively defend his many accomplishments and expose Trump’s many lies.”
Former Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio: Biden’s former opponent for the 2020 nomination said he believes Vice President Kamala Harris is the party’s “best path forward” in a Newsweek op-ed published Monday, accusing those who believe she has less of a chance of beating Trump than “the Joe Biden we saw the other night and will continue to see” of “not living in reality” and calling Harris an opportunity for “generational change.”
The New York Times Editorial Board: “To serve his country, President Biden should leave the race” the left-leaning panel declared in a headline the day after the debate, calling Biden “ an admirable president” who is “engaged in a reckless gamble,” and urging Democrats to speak up and replace him, or risk handing the election to Trump.
The Chicago Tribune Editorial Board: Writing it had seen “enough” after the debate, the editorial board blasted both former President Donald Trump and Biden as “two gnarly old men” and “clowns,” and wrote that Biden “should announce he will be a single-term president who now has seen the light when it comes to his own capabilities.”
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Editorial Board: Biden should step aside “to defeat Trump and for the good of the nation,” the board wrote Saturday, dismissing defenses from Biden’s campaign and his allies that he had a cold or that his poor performance was an anomaly, writing “this wasn’t a bad night; it was confirmation of the worst fears of some of Biden’s most ardent supporters . . . age has finally caught up to him.”
Thomas Friedman: Acknowledging his friendship with Biden and describing how he wept while watching what he called a “heartbreaking” debate, the Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times columnist wrote that Biden “has no business running for re-election” and the Democratic Party should conduct a new “open process in search of a Democratic presidential nominee.”
Nicholas Kristof: In a column published just hours after the debate ended, fellow New York Times columnist Kristof wrote that Biden’s debate performance “reinforced the narrative” he is too old to serve as president, and urged the president to announce his retirement before the convention, giving his delegates the chance to select another Democratic nominee, such as Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown or Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo.
Paul Krugman: “The best president of my life needs to withdraw,” was the headline on a third New York Times columnist’s plea , with Krugman acknowledging “maybe some Biden loyalists will consider this a betrayal, given how much I have supported his policies, but I fear that we need to recognize reality.”
David Remnick: The editor of the New Yorker wrote that Biden appeared to “wander into senselessness onstage,” and that remaining on the ticket “would be an act not only of self-delusion but of national endangerment.”
David Ignatius: Reiterating a view he expressed in a September column that Biden should not run, The Washington Post foreign affairs columnist wrote in a post-debate piece that Biden has been insulated by his close circle of aides and confidants, including his wife, Jill Biden, who have dismissed calls that he should step aside and “have been protective—to a fault.”
Mark Leibovich: The Atlantic staff writer and former New York Times Magazine national correspondent headlined his Friday column “Time To Go, Joe,” calling the debate a “disaster” and writing that Biden “looked old, sounded old, and yes, is in fact very, very old.”
Joe Scarborough: Declaring that he “love[s]” Biden, the host of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” (a program Biden reportedly follows closely) gently suggested on Friday’s episode the president should bow out of the race, asking the rhetorical question “if he were CEO, and he turned in a performance like that, would any corporation in America keep him on?”
Chandler West: Former White House director of photography from January 2021 through May 2022, West wrote on Instagram that “it’s time for Joe to go,” Axios reported, citing screenshots of West’s story in which he said White House operatives have said privately for months that Biden is “not as strong as he was just a couple of years ago,” and a subsequent text message from West to Axios predicting that the debate is “not gonna be the last” bad day for Biden.
James Carville: Biden “shouldn’t be” the nominee, the longtime Democratic political consultant told Politico , after saying the Biden campaign used his name in a post-debate fundraising text without his permission, and also told Axios he thinks Biden will end his campaign before Election Day, paraphrasing a quote by economist Herb Stein, “that which can’t continue . . . won’t.”
Andrew Yang: Biden’s former 2020 opponent for the Democratic nomination wrote in his blog Saturday that he was “wrong” for having confidence Biden’s team could prepare him for Thursday’s debate, describing Biden as “old and shuffling” when he saw him in February, while writing that Biden is “running an unwinnable race” and “doing wrong by the country” for continuing his candidacy.
Cenk Uygur: Less than 30 minutes into the debate, the host and founder of left-wing political podcast, The Young Turks, who also briefly ran for the Democratic nomination this year, tweeted that the show would “start talking about who should replace Biden. Because at this point it’s obvious that it definitely MUST happen.”
Some Democrats have expressed careful skepticism about Biden’s future in the race, but have stopped short of calling on him to step aside. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Tuesday on MSNBC “I think it’s a legitimate question to say this is an episode or this is a condition,” referring to Biden’s cognitive abilities. Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., a former member of the party’s leadership, said he’d like Biden to remain the nominee but argued Harris should replace him if Biden stands down. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, who has been floated as a replacement for Biden on the ticket, told reporters Monday he will continue to support Biden “so long as he continues to be in the race,” but added “only he can make decisions about his candidacy.” Rep. Mike Quigley, D-Ill., told CNN Tuesday “this is a decision he’s going to have to make” when asked whether Biden should step aside, adding “I just want him to appreciate at the time just how much it impacts not just this race, but all the other races coming in November.”
Biden, appearing far more energetic than he did the previous night, defended himself in a speech from Raleigh, North Carolina, on Friday, where he acknowledged to the crowd “I don’t walk as easy as I used to, I don’t speak as smoothly as I used to, I don’t debate as well as I used to.” Drawing a contrast with Trump, Biden said “I know what I do know, I know how to tell the truth!” Biden told reporters immediately after the debate that he had a sore throat, an apparent excuse for his hoarse, and sometimes inaudible, voice. So far, no elected Democrats (aside from Biden’s longshot primary challenger, Rep. Dean Phillips, D-Minn.) have called on Biden to step aside in the race, and many have publicly defended him after Thursday’s performance, with Harris telling a crowd in Las Vegas on Friday “we believe in our President Joe Biden” and “this race will not be decided by one night in June.” Former President Barack Obama also tweeted Friday “bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know.”
Thursday’s debate was considered the most important night of the 2024 campaign cycle—and an opportunity for Biden to reassure voters concerned that he is too old to run for president. Biden was widely viewed to have done the opposite, losing his train of thought within minutes of the debate beginning, speaking so softly at times it was hard to understand what he was saying, giving disjointed answers and often standing with a blank stare on his face, his mouth agape, while Trump was speaking. Abysmal reviews , even from some of Trump’s fiercest critics, instantly poured in on social media, and by the end of the debate, Democrats were reportedly privately discussing the possibility of replacing him on the ticket, multiple outlets reported.
There is no formal mechanism for replacing Biden as the nominee if he doesn’t step aside voluntarily. He has won nearly 3,900 of the 4,000 available delegates in the primaries who are beholden (but not legally required) to vote to formally nominate Biden at the Democratic convention in August. In an unprecedented and highly unlikely scenario, the delegates could spurn Biden and vote to select another nominee. Or Biden could withdraw from the race before the convention, giving his delegates the opportunity to cast their votes for another candidate. If he were to withdraw after the August convention, party rules state that the Democratic National Committee’s approximately 500 members could convene a special meeting to select a new nominee by majority vote. Harris would be the most obvious choice for a replacement, but Whitmer and California Gov. Gavin Newsom are other names commonly floated by pundits and the press. Both have defended him publicly in the wake of Thursday’s debate.

Yuki Tsunoda has received a hefty fine for “inappropriate comments made on team radio” during qualifying for the Austrian Grand Prix on Saturday. According to the stewards’ decision document, the fine is €40,000 ($42,882), half of which (€20,000) is suspended for the rest of the season “on the condition that no infringement of similar nature occurs.”

During qualifying, the RB driver was queuing in the fast lane, and another driver merged in front of him. He expressed his frustration over the radio, saying, “These guys are f—ing r—–ed.” He was later summoned by the stewards for allegedly breaking Article 12.2.1 k of the International Sporting Code.
This article focuses on “any misconduct,” which is partially defined as “the general use of language (written or verbal), gesture and/or sign that is offensive, insulting, coarse, rude or abusive and might reasonably be expected or be perceived to be coarse or rude or to cause offense, humiliation or to be inappropriate.”
According to the stewards’ decision document, Tsunoda “was very apologetic and explained that because English is not his first language he was unaware until after the session what the meaning of the words used is in the English language. He said that he was horrified when he learned this. He contended that his understanding of the words was different, but acknowledged that this should not be considered as an excuse for what he did.”
The stewards called the language “wholly inappropriate.” The document also stated, “Considering the circumstances, the Stewards determine that a severe fine is required, but also take into account the genuine remorse of the driver and his offer to issue a public apology and for these reasons decide to suspend part of the fine imposed.”
The FIA has become stricter about comments made by drivers and teams. In Las Vegas last fall, both Toto Wolff and Fred Vasseur were given warnings for cursing during a press conference.
In 2020, Max Verstappen used the same word and other ableist language after an incident with Lance Stroll. The two went side-by-side into Turn 1 and crashed, and the Red Bull driver was fuming over the radio.
Similar to the aftermath of Tsunoda’s comments, Formula One fans criticized Verstappen’s use of the words. The Dutchman later said that he “never meant to offend anyone.”
After the decision was made, Tsunoda soon posted an apology on Instagram.
“Hello, I wanted to say big apologies what I said in the radio today. Obviously I didn’t use it intentionally and was completely misunderstanding from myself that exact meaning of it. I now have better understanding for what the word means and am very apologetic for what I said. This type of language has no place and is not tolerated and for that l am sorry.”

What is the scandal about, who is under investigation and what does it mean for the ruling Conservative Party?
As British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour leader Keir Starmer faced off in their final televised debate on Wednesday night ahead of next week’s general election , a betting scandal which is likely to become the source of major embarrassment to the ruling Conservative Party continued to grow.
On Wednesday, it emerged that the Metropolitan Police have taken a more prominent role in an investigation into bets that senior politicians and officials placed on the upcoming general election.
Immigration, economy, wars: key issues at the heart of uk general election, uk elections 2024: which are the main parties and what are they promising, ‘britain’s on its knees’: the broken uk town backing nigel farage, £10,200: how much worse off britons are after 14 years of tory rule.
Amid angry exchanges with the prime minister about plans for taxation, immigration and even transgender rights, Starmer took aim at top Conservatives who are suspected of using inside information to bet on the date of the election before it was announced when he said it showed the “wrong instinct” to bet on the future of the country.
Described by one senior Conservative figure, Baroness Ruth Davidson, as akin to political “insider trading”, allegations that some party officials placed bets on the date of the election look set to hound what could be the Conservative government’s final days after 14 tumultuous years in office.
“Firstly, I mean, how tawdry is it?” raged Davidson on last Friday’s Sky News Electoral Dysfunction podcast about the allegations currently pummelling her party, which has been led by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak since 2022.
Davidson, the former leader of the Scottish Conservative Party at the devolved Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh, added: “I literally have no words. I’ve been involved in fighting elections for more than 15 years and I literally have no words.”
Allegations that some Conservative candidates and officials bet on the date of Britain’s July 4 general election have been growing since it was revealed two weeks ago that Craig Williams, an aide to Sunak, had placed a 100-pound ($127) wager on there being a July vote just days before Sunak himself announced the date of the poll to the British public.
So far, five Conservative officials have been named as being under investigation by the Gambling Commission (GC) for allegedly placing bets on a July election using inside party knowledge.
The GC, the United Kingdom body responsible for regulating Britain’s gambling laws, is believed to be investigating as many as 15 Conservative Party candidates and officials for allegedly betting on the timing of the election.
In a separate but related development, the Conservative Party’s Scottish Secretary Alister Jack admitted to placing several small bets on the election date during March and April – but has insisted that he broke no rules and said that he was not under investigation by the GC.
In a twist on the betting scandal, The Sun newspaper reported on Wednesday that another Conservative, Philip Davies, bet 8,000 pounds ($10,115) that he would lose his marginal seat of Shipley in West Yorkshire in the upcoming election. Davies told the Sun that he “fully expects to lose” his seat to Labour, which is forecast to win, and added that it was “nobody’s business” if he decided to bet against himself.
The Labour Party has not emerged entirely unscathed by the betting scandal. Kevin Craig was stripped of his candidacy by the Labour Party on Tuesday after it came to light that he was under investigation by the GC for betting that he would lose his own bid to become an MP for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich in the upcoming election.
Williams, the first to be named as being under investigation by the Gambling Commission (GC), was standing as the Conservative Party candidate for Montgomeryshire and Glyndwr in Wales when he came under investigation.
The 39-year-old admitted to making a “huge error of judgement” in seeking to make money from placing his 100-pound bet, with odds of 5-1, on the election date, meaning he could have won 500 pounds ($633). He has not revealed whether he had inside knowledge of the election date before he made his bet, but Ladbrokes, the betting firm with which he placed the wager, refused to register the bet after it flagged him up as a “politically exposed person”, and referred the matter to the GC.
Laura Saunders was the second party official to come under GC investigation as she canvassed as the Conservative candidate for Bristol North West. Saunders was soon joined by her husband, Tony Lee, the Conservative Party’s director of campaigning, who took a leave of absence after it emerged that he was also being investigated by the GC.
On Tuesday, both Williams and Saunders were dropped by their party as candidates, but they appear to still be contesting their respective seats, meaning that, if elected, they would sit as independents in the House of Commons.
The Conservative Party’s chief data officer, Nick Mason, became the fourth Conservative to come to the attention of the GC after it was alleged that he, too, had placed a number of election bets before the date of the snap poll was announced by Sunak.
Russell George, a Conservative member of the devolved Welsh Parliament, was revealed on Tuesday evening as the fifth party figure to face an inquiry by the GC, despite not running for a seat himself in the general election.
An unnamed police constable, who was part of the prime minister’s security detail, was arrested on June 17 following allegations that he had placed a similar bet. A further five police officers are also being investigated by the GC, it has since emerged.
Section 42 of the 2005 Gambling Act explicitly forbids gamblers from using inside information (also known as insider trading) to place a bet or provide the necessary information to someone else to place a bet on their behalf. It carries a maximum two-year prison sentence.
The Parliamentary Code of Conduct also warns MPs against doing anything which might “cause significant damage to the reputation and integrity of the House of Commons”.
Appearing on a special edition of BBC Question Time on June 20, Sunak himself stated that the scandal is “a really serious matter – it’s right that they’re being investigated properly by the relevant law enforcement authorities”.
Sunak said he was “incredibly angry” about the allegations. “The integrity of that process should be respected,” he said. “But what I can tell you is, if anyone is found to have broken the rules, not only should they face the full consequences of the law, I will make sure that they are booted out of the Conservative Party.”
Sunak’s Conservative Party was already trailing badly behind Labour in the polls prior to the betting revelations. A recent Savanta survey for the Telegraph has shown that this is likely to further damage the party, with two-thirds of voters saying they disapproved of Conservative candidates placing bets on the date of the election.
Furthermore, this scandal is just the latest in a long list of controversies that have dogged Britain’s ruling Conservatives in recent times, and is symptomatic of a party that has grown “corpulent with complacency” during its 14 years in power, said Tim Bale, a politics professor at Queen Mary University of London.
“As the 19th-century politician, Lord Acton, once wrote, ‘Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely,’” Bale said of the Conservative Party’s list of travails, such as “ Partygate ”, the scandal over parties and gatherings held at then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s official residence in Downing Street during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, which broke lockdown rules.
Bale said: “Because the Labour Party provided no serious opposition to them for a decade, all too many Conservatives, having had it too easy for too long and taking their cue from the very top, got used to thinking they could, as the saying goes, get away with murder.”
He added: “But that era of impunity was never going to last once Labour recovered its senses and voters grew tired of the government’s failure to deliver on the fundamentals.”
One of television's most-watched events is coming up on Thursday: the first debate of the 2024 presidential election .
President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump will engage in a rematch after a dramatic series of debates (and cancellations) ahead of the 2020 election . This debate is happening earlier than usual and without the Commission on Presidential Debates as the host. The two candidates are expected to talk age, immigration, abortion and Trump's criminal record .
Trump's first appearance on the presidential debate stage in 2016 as he faced Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton was the most watched presidential debate in history, according to Nielsen total viewership data. But other metrics show 1960 was the year the greatest proportion of households tracked by Nielsen tuned in.
Here is a look back at the presidential debates and the viewers they brought in:
Presidential debate ratings: How many people watched the presidential debate? Check the ratings for Trump-Biden debate
Nielsen is a media research company that tracks audience data.
For election coverage audience, Nielsen measured the total number of viewers older than 2, the number of households that tuned in, and a rating as a percentage showing the proportion of television-owning households that tuned in, according to Pew Research .
LIVE UPDATES: Presidential debate: How to watch Donald Trump, Joe Biden battle in Atlanta
The data does not encompass everyone who streamed the event, watched it online, who watched on laptops or cell phones, but no company reliably captures the entire audience, according to the New York Times .
Historically, the first debate in the presidential election cycle draws the biggest crowd, however the first debate usually happens in September, after the candidates have been formally nominated.
In 2020, the first debate between Biden and Trump drew 73.1 million viewers while the last debate saw 62.9 viewers, according to Nielsen. The second debate was canceled when Trump refused to participate remotely during a White House COVID-19 outbreak.
In 2016, the first debate between Trump and Clinton drew 84 million views, the second debate drew 66.5 million views and and the final debate drew 71.6 million views.
According to Pew, debate viewership as a share of total TV audience has fallen over the last 70 years. Plus, Nielsen's ratings, based on the percent of TV-owning households tuned in, may not capture the full picture today compared to the first debate in 1960, as more people move to streaming .
But here is how the Nielsen ratings compare between each debate:
2020: Biden and Trump
Note: Nielsen also included out-of-home viewing and connected TV in the totals in 2020.
2016: Trump and Clinton
2012: Barack Obama and Mitt Romney
2008: Obama and John McCain
2004: George W. Bush and John Kerry
2000: Bush and Al Gore
1996: Bill Clinton and Bob Dole
1992: Bill Clinton, George Bush and Ross Perot
1988: Bush and Michael Dukakis
1984: Ronald Reagan and Walter Mondale
1980: Reagan and Jimmy Carter
1976: Carter and Gerald Ford
1960: John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon
There were no televised presidential debates in 1964, 1968 or 1972, according to Nielsen.
The CNN Presidential Debate is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET on Thursday, June 27.
