Congressman Case’s statement:
July 11, 2024
“Difficult times and realities require difficult decisions.
This is one of those times, realities and decisions. My guidepost is what is the best way forward for our country.
I do not believe President Biden should continue his candidacy for re-election as President.
This has nothing to do with his character and record. If it did, there would be no decision to make.
This is solely about the future, about the President’s ability to continue in the most difficult job in the world for another four-year term.
We all know that this Presidential election is our most consequential in generations.
One in which voters must make a generational choice of direction for our country that will also deeply impact our world.
Our decision on President, on who will embody and lead that choice, should be made on the merits, with no questions as to basic capacity to discharge responsibilities over another term.
I cannot avoid the conclusion that that choice should be presented with another Democratic candidate.
As to who that candidate should be, there are various paths to that decision. They are difficult and uncertain.
But no more difficult and uncertain than the current path, nor any reason to stay on this path, which I do not believe is the best path forward for our country.”
