Top Democrat calls on Joe Biden to 'pass the torch' | BBC News

Prominent Democrat Adam Schiff - a California congressman running to be the state's next senator - has called on President Joe Biden to "pass the torch" and allow another Democrat to challenge Donald Trump in November.

Mr Schiff said that Mr Biden “has been one of the most consequential presidents in our nation’s history", and he could "secure his legacy of leadership" by allowing Democrats to support another candidate.

Mr Biden has repeatedly said he intends to stay in the race, despite the calls for him to step aside.
