Jamie Raskin compared Joe Biden to a tiring pitcher in a letter he penned to the president earlier this month, urging him to “hear out” Democrats and consider bowing out of the 2024 presidential race.

“There is no shame in taking a well-deserved bow to the overflowing appreciation of the crowd when your arm is tired out, and there is real danger for the team in ignoring the statistics,” Raskin wrote. “Your situation is tricky because you are both our star pitcher and our manager.
