Are Democrat leaders like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer’s days in office numbered? Now even their own party hopes so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two Democrats, 82 and 71 respectively, have been experiencing an increase in calls to retire over the past months, not just from Republican critics but from members of their own party as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More and more Democrats have been calling for “new blood” in the party and for senior leaders to step down to make it happen. The calls come as the party continues to trend leftward and experiences a surge in success for more progressive candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) has joined the handful of outspoken Democrats calling for new candidates\u00a0in both Congress and the White House, according to The Washington Examiner<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I have been very vocal, including with my own leadership in the House, that we need a new generation,\u201d Slotkin told NBC\u2019s Meet the Press<\/a> <\/em>on Sunday. \u201cWe need new blood, period, across the Democratic Party \u2014 in the House, the Senate, and the White House. I think that the country has been saying that<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Rep. Slotkin’s comments follow similar remarks by Democrats yearning for new faces in the party. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Joe Biden’s age, 79, has been of increasing concern over the past months as his blunders continue to attract negative attention. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called on the president not to seek another term in the White House, but so far Biden has yet to officially make an announcement. However, the continued chatter surrounding Biden’s age has invited speculation about whether Democrats will support the President’s next campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the summer, Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) said he wouldn\u2019t back Biden for a reelection bid, making him one of the first sitting Democrat members of Congress to say directly that he wouldn\u2019t back a second term for the president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have respect for Joe Biden. I think he has \u2014 despite some mistakes and missteps, despite his age \u2014 I think he\u2019s a man of decency, of good principle, of compassion, of empathy, and of strength. But to answer your question directly, which I know is quite rare, no, I don\u2019t,” Phillips told WCCO in July.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
