On Friday, U.S Rep. Mike Quigley, a member of Illinois’ Democratic Congressional Caucus and a close friend and ally of Gov. Pritzker, called on Biden to step aside, saying, "Four years ago Joe Biden did our country and our democracy a great service by beating Donald Trump. I’m not sure he can do it again this time." Quigley is also confident that even more Democrats will echo his words in the coming days.
Congress returns on Monday after taking a break for the holiday, and reports coming out of the nation’s capitol indicate that Biden is in for a rough week as even more Democratic members of Congress are expected to demand that he end his re-election campaign and support Harris as the new nominee.
