Clyburn says he'd back Harris after telling Democrats to 'focus on the record of this administration'

Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) is sticking by President Joe Biden‘s side and said the conversation should move to talking about the administration’s record — while also backing Vice President Kamala Harris should Biden step aside.

Since Biden’s disastrous June 27 debate against former President Donald Trump, the president has faced mounting questions from voters and from within Democratic circles about his age and mental acuity. Clyburn, one of Biden’s biggest allies in Congress who saved his run in the 2020 Democratic primary, left the door open to the president stepping aside, noting the Democratic National Convention while speaking on NBC News’s Today on Friday.
