CBS’ Robert Costa Reports Dems Trying to Replace Biden Now ‘Standing Down’ After Assassination Attempt On Trump

CBS’ Robert Costa reported Sunday that President Joe Biden’s critics in the Democratic party are “standing down” following the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.

Appearing on Face the Nation Sunday, Costa said that Democrats are now seeking party unity as well as national unity following the attack.

“I’ve been speaking with some top Democrats,” Costa said. “They believe that those Democrats who have the concerns about President Biden are now standing down politically, will back President Biden because of this fragile political moment. All of that talk about the debate faded almost instantly among my top Democratic sources as this unfolded. Say it’s time for the country to stick together, and that means Democrats sticking together as well.”

Prior to the attack, 20 congressional Democrats called on Biden to withdraw from the race.
