The Shining and Carrie author Stephen King became the latest Democratic VIP to tell President Joe Biden to put his campaign to rest. On Monday, the author wrote on X, “Joe Biden has been a fine president, but it’s time for him—in the interests of the America he so clearly loves—to announce he will not run for re-election.”
The post is the latest in a swelling crowd of prominent Democrats who’ve called for Biden to make a dignified withdrawal from the presidential race after his inarticulate debate showing against Donald Trump.
Four major House Dems reportedly said in a private call Sunday that Biden should step down, or else risk the likelihood of a wave of conservatism under a second Trump administration.
