Democratic congressman Pat Ryan tells New York Times endorsing Joe Biden would be ‘grave disservice’
With Pat Ryan’s statement, the number of Democratic members of Congress who have publicly called for Joe Biden to stand aside has risen to eight. In his interview with the New York Times, Ryan hit back on Biden’s insistence earlier this week that it was only party “elites” who want him to end his bid for re-election. Ryan said he made his decision after spending days in his exurban New York City district, where constituents were “deeply concerned” about Biden.
“These are the opposite of elites,” Ryan told the Times “These are people eating hot dogs and drinking beer and talking about my Yankees and where the country’s at and expressing some pretty deep and weighty things.” Should Biden step aside, Ryan said it “would go down in history at or near what George Washington did in terms of stepping aside for the good of the country”, and “it would be such a stark contrast to the selfishness of Trump.
