Tim Ryan has become the most senior Democrat to openly call for Joe Biden to step aside, saying Kamala Harris would “destroy” Donald Trump.
The former presidential hopeful and Ohio Democratic Senate candidate’s call for Harris to take over is a step few other prominent members of the party have been willing to take as of yet.
“We have to rip the band aid off!” Ryan said in a post on X, sharing an op-ed he wrote calling for Vice President Kamala Harris to take over at the top of the ticket and become the new Democratic nominee. “Too much is at stake.”
