Polling guru and FiveThirtyEight founder Nate Silver earlier this month wrote on X he also believes Biden should "transition the presidency to [Vice President Kamala] Harris within 30-60 days, but I’m there now. Something is clearly wrong here."
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash., has also called on Biden to step down.

Presidential historian Allan Lichtman, who has accurately predicted nine of the last 10 elections, has also said that if Biden were to drop out of the race, handing over the presidency to Harris as she replaces him on the ticket would be the Democrats' best chance of keeping the White House in November.
Biden and his campaign have said the president is "in it to win it," although reports have said he is reconsidering that amid increasing calls to drop out.
