Here are the congressional Democrats who called for Biden to stop seeking reelection this week

The Democratic calls for President Joe Biden to stop his bid for reelection continued to strengthen this week, even as Republicans flocked to downtown Milwaukee for their nominating convention.

A total of 35 Democratic lawmakers have now called for Biden to drop out of the Democratic race for president, just a month before he is expected to become the party's official nominee at the Democratic convention in Chicago. Nearly half of the Congressional calls occurred this week, and 12 occurred on Friday alone.

Here is the complete list of lawmakers who have called for Biden to drop out this week, according to Forbes.

Thursday:

Wednesday:



Rep. Adam Schiff of California became the most notable House Democrat to join the call, claiming he had "serious concerns" on whether Biden could beat former President Donald Trump in November, per the Los Angeles Times.

Democratic celebrities, like George Clooney, and major Democratic donors have also called for the president to stop seeking a second term in office recently, but Biden has rejected the calls so far.
