In an opinion piece for USA Today published on Friday, Ashley Judd called on Joe Biden to “voluntarily, gracefully step aside” so that a “talented, robust Democrat” can run for the presidency.
She wrote that Biden demonstrated during the debate he was “incapable of countering Trump, while he, unchecked, gushed a firehose of galling lies.”
Judd visited the White House in April to help the Biden administration promote its new national strategy to prevent suicide. She lost her mother, Naomi Judd, that way.
Judd has been an outspoken supporter for Biden and other Democrats. Her allegations against Harvey Weinstein also helped at the start of the #MeToo movement.
Judd said that time is of the essence for Democrats to replace Biden with a candidate who can defeat him.
“We do not have another day for distraction or division among ourselves,” she said.
Judd did not suggest a possible replacement for Biden atop the ticket.
