Biden’s former foreign policy staff asks him to resign

Foreign policy experts and former national security officials who have previously supported President Joe Biden are now circulating a petition calling for him to step down as the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate for the good of the country.

The petition highlights the concerns about President Biden’s vision, approach, and intentions regarding national security, which are seen as conflicting with the values and principles these experts and officials have stood for. The message urges President Biden to pass on the mantle of leadership at this critical juncture.

Despite President Biden’s accomplishments in various international arenas such as Europe, Asia, the Americas, and on pressing issues like climate change, there is a growing sense of unease about his candidacy among elected Democratic officials. Recent polls also indicate that President Biden is behind his Republican rival, former President Donald Trump.

Moreover, a group of former aides released an open letter on Thursday, as reported by USA Today, calling for President Biden to withdraw from the race. The existence of this petition from former national security staffers was first revealed by The Bulwark.

President Biden often emphasizes his extensive experience in global affairs, having served as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Vice President, and eventually Commander-in-Chief. His supporters point to his track record and leadership in foreign policy as a significant asset.

According to reports from Puck News, President Biden challenged Democratic lawmakers in a recent call, stating, “Name me a foreign leader who thinks I’m not the most effective leader in the world on foreign policy.”
