Democrats may need the courage of a Hugh Scott moment

Hours after President Joe Biden’s feeble debate performance Thursday night that left voters across the country stunned, two of Pennsylvania’s most powerful Democrats, Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) and Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), pushed back against calls for Biden to step down from his reelection campaign.

Shapiro appeared on MSNBC and CNN and was repeatedly asked if he thought Biden should step aside. He admitted repeatedly that Biden had a bad debate but said there was too much at stake with a possible Donald Trump presidency, so he reinforced his stance that Biden should not step aside.
