Montana's Jon Tester becomes second Senate Democrat to call on Biden to withdraw from presidential race
SUMMARY
Senator Jon Tester of Montana has urged President Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race, becoming the second Senate Democrat to make this call. Tester, facing a challenging reelection in a state Biden lost in 2020, stated, "I have worked with President Biden when it has made Montana stronger, and I've never been afraid to stand up to him when he is wrong. And while I appreciate his commitment to public service and our country, I believe President Biden should not seek re-election to another term." This follows similar calls from Sen. Peter Welch of Vermont and other House Democrats.
