A panel of five undecided voters from various corners of the nation gathered on ABC News Thursday evening to air their concerns regarding the upcoming presidential election, with a resounding agreement emerging: President Biden needs to step aside.

Yvonya White from North Carolina articulated her reservations about both candidates' advanced age and Biden's frequent gaffes, expressing concerns that they did not adequately represent the nation's demographics. She drew attention to the 2022 population median age of 38.5 years, contrasting it with the ages of Trump and Biden (78 and 81, respectively).
White further pointed out Biden's verbal stumbles and lapses in memory, suggesting that these were indicative of a decline in cognitive abilities. "If it's any other position in any other job, they would respectfully ask that person to resign," she remarked. "I think we are at the point where he needs to respectfully be asked to resign, not just for himself but for the betterment of this country."

White's concerns echo those of a growing number of Democratic officials who have publicly urged Biden to reconsider his candidacy, citing concerns about his ability to defeat Trump. Over 20 members of Congress have made such calls, while multiple reports indicate that prominent figures like former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have privately broached the subject with Biden.
The panelists' unanimous agreement on Biden's withdrawal from the race highlights the extent of concern among undecided voters. They perceive Biden as unfit for office due to his age and perceived cognitive decline, and they believe that his continued candidacy could damage the Democratic Party's chances of success in the 2024 election.
