"I don’t think he can win up against Donald Trump as it stands right now. I just don't."

It's been a week since *that* debate, and six House members have called on President Biden to withdraw from the race.

There have also been a few celebrities who have called for the same thing, too, and here's who they are: 

Stephen King

He posted on X pleading to Biden, "Be the one who not only stopped Trump, but also the brave man who gave us our 1st woman in the Oval Office. She will complete your mission—and we'll stand beside her. THIS is your moment in history. Do the right thing."

Stephen Colbert

He said on his show, "Self-sacrifice takes a particular kind of courage, and that is a courage I believe Joe Biden is capable of. I believe he is a good enough man, and a good enough President to put the needs of the country ahead of the needs of his ego. And however painful that may be, it is possible to hand leadership to a younger generation for the greater goodest."
