Brown expressed his belief that Biden should withdraw from the race, stating that at this critical time, the full attention of the party should return to important issues such as job growth, combating fentanyl, protecting Social Security and Medicare, and preventing a nationwide abortion ban.
"Over the last few weeks, I've heard from Ohioans on important issues," Brown said. "I agree with the many Ohioans who have reached out to me."

Brown's announcement follows similar statements from three other Democratic senators in recent days. Senator Martin Heinrich of New Mexico, Senator Jon Tester of Montana, and Senator Peter Welch of Vermont have all expressed their concerns about Biden's age and fitness for office.
The calls for Biden to withdraw come as the latest polls show declining support for the president among both Democrats and Republicans. A recent CNN poll found that only 38% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents want Biden to run for re-election, while 56% would prefer a different candidate.

Some Democrats have expressed concern that Biden's continued presence in the race could jeopardize the party's chances of holding onto the White House in 2024. They believe that Biden's age and declining approval ratings could make him a vulnerable target for Republican attacks.
However, Biden and his campaign have remained adamant that he is not backing down. The president has repeatedly stated his intention to run for re-election and has brushed off suggestions that he should step aside.
