July 9 (UPI) -- Rep. Mikie Sherrill, D-N.J., on Tuesday called on President Joe Biden to withdraw his candidacy for the presidency despite having a vast majority of primary voters supporting his re-election bid.
Sherrill joined a very small minority of House Democrats who are urging Biden to withdraw out of fear that he will lose the election to his Republican challenger, former President Donald Trump.
Sherrill said she believes Trump has too good of a chance of beating Biden in the Nov. 5 general election and doesn't want to risk the loss despite her concerns about democracy should Trump win.
"I know that President Biden and his team have been true public servants and have put the country and the best interest of democracy first and foremost in their consideration," Sherrill said in a statement Tuesday.
