Rep. Lloyd Doggett, a Democrat from Texas, tells Hallie Jackson that his constituents are "10-to-1" in favor of replacing President Biden on the ticket. He says "we need to have the strongest candidate possible in order to ensure the values that we hold for our democracy are not traded for an authoritarian strongman."

Thank you, Congressman Doggett! With so many partisans circling the wagons around Ruth Bader Biden, it's refreshing to hear more sane voices like yours putting country over party, and speaking truth to power. Now if we can just get through to people in Biden's inner circle, we just might manage to save democracy yet!

You saw a good, decent man (who's been doing a phenomenal job as President of the United States) and a LAWLESS, lying man (who abused his power when he held the same position) in their first debate. You saw, alright. But, instead of calling out Trump for all of his blatant lies during the debate, you're questioning Biden's competence???? Unbelievable.
