A group of political donors, community leaders and business executives sent a letter to US President Joe Biden. In it, they ask to stop his participation in the elections.

The appeal to Biden was sent on Friday, July 5th. They ask him to do this, taking into account the future of the United States.

The letter asked Biden to “secure the legacy”

168 people signed a letter to Biden asking him to withdraw his candidacy.

We respectfully urge you to withdraw your running for re-election for the sake of our democracy and the future of our nation, says this private letter.

By the way, it continued to collect signatures even after it was handed to the White House.

The letter was organized by the Leadership Now Project, a group founded in 2018 in response to growing concerns about threats to democracy. By the way, the letter that the group handed to Biden praised his service.

At this important moment in our nation, it is time to secure your legacy by passing the torch, as George Washington did, the statement added.

The signatories include the billionaire daughter-in-law of Walmart founder Christy Walton, former National Football League Commissioner Paul J. Tagliabue, billionaire investor Mike Novogratz, former Google executive Ning Mosberger-Tan, Harvard Law School professor Lawrence Lessig, New York University professor and podcaster Scott Galloway, former Army Secretary Luis Caldera, and others.

The WP added that Leadership Now Project CEO Daniella Ballou-Aares, , who previously worked in the Obama administration, declined to comment on the letter Friday, July 5.

“Our number one concern is the risk that former President Trump poses to the economy, to national security, and to the rule of law. We are also communicating with members of the House and Senate expressing our concerns,” Ballou-Aares said yesterday.

She also said that if Biden remains the nominee, she expects all members of the caucus to continue to support him against Trump, but that Biden currently has a much better chance of losing than winning if he continues to run for president.
