Downers Grove, IL — Today, U.S. Congressman Sean Casten (IL-06) called on President Joe Biden to withdraw as the Democratic nominee for President of the United States.

“It is with a heavy heart and much personal reflection that I am therefore calling on Joe Biden to pass the torch to a new generation,” wrote Rep. Casten in the Chicago Tribune. “To manage an exit with all the dignity and decency that has guided his half-century of public service. To cement his legacy as the President who saved our democracy in 2020 and handed it off to trusted hands in 2024 who could carry his legacy forward.”
