Amidst growing concerns about President Biden's mental fitness, a chorus of high-profile individuals, including Hollywood celebrities and Democratic lawmakers, are urging him to step aside. Actress Ashley Judd penned a scathing opinion piece, attacking Biden and calling on him to drop out of the presidential race to prevent a "Trump presidency."
Hollywood elites are pivoting their support for President Biden, who is facing mounting pressure to drop out of the presidential race. The catalyst for this shift in sentiment is Biden's declining mental fitness, which has become a dominant topic in the national conversation.

Actress Ashley Judd joined a growing list of celebrities and high-profile Democrats calling for Biden's resignation. In a blistering USA Today opinion piece, Judd bluntly declared that "Beating Trump is too important" and urged Biden to step aside.
Judd's criticism centers on Biden's inability to counter former President Trump's "firehose of galling lies" during their recent debate. She believes that Biden's obvious limitations pose a significant risk to the country, especially considering the potential consequences of a second Trump presidency.

Judd also expressed her concerns about the resurgence of Trumpism, as evidenced by racist remarks made by family members. She believes that Trump's normalization of such behavior threatens fundamental rights and freedoms.
Other prominent figures who have called for Biden's resignation include actor George Clooney and elected Democratic lawmakers. Their concerns echo Judd's observations about Biden's declining mental acuity and the potential dangers of a Trump presidency.

In Judd's view, Biden's resignation would allow the Democratic party to present a more viable candidate. She believes that voters deserve a "real choice" and that the current situation presents a significant challenge for Americans who fear both Biden's declining capabilities and Trump's return to power.
Judd's outspoken stance has come at a personal cost. She has lost a significant amount of money for speaking out against Trump and expects to face further backlash for her criticism of Biden. However, she believes that the stakes are too high to remain silent.
For Judd, the most pressing concern is the potential harm that a second Trump presidency would inflict on marginalized communities, including LGBTQ+ families and women. She pointed out that many states have already banned abortions, even in cases of rape and incest, under Trump's leadership.
As the chorus of voices calling for Biden's resignation grows, his supporters have remained largely silent. Fox News Digital reached out to the Biden and Trump campaigns for comment but did not receive an immediate response.
With the 2024 presidential election approaching, it remains to be seen how Biden will respond to these increasing calls for his resignation. If he chooses to stay in the race, he will face an uphill battle against not only the opposing Republicans but also the growing dissatisfaction within his own party.
