Jim Himes, Democrat from CT-4 (covering Greenwich) would be the first from Connecticut's congressional delegation to call for Biden to remove himself from the race. According to the Associated Press, at a meeting of prominent Democratic leaders on Sunday, Himes said Biden should ste aside. The news comes after Biden put on a shaky performance in a debate against former President Donald Trump on June 27, during which he fumbled his words and seemed to lose his train of thought. Afterward, Biden was widely panned across the political spectrum, leading to open speculation about whether the 81-year-old could, or should, continue in the race.
Between the lines: This is another crack in what has been solid Democrat support for Biden from Connecticut State leadership in Congress.
