Former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang has called on Democrats to replace Joe Biden with a new candidate in response to his debate performance.
Yang ran for president in 2020 but dropped out after the New Hampshire primary and endorsed Joe Biden.
During Thursday night’s presidential debate, Yang tweeted, “Guys, the Democrats should nominate someone else — before it’s too late. #swapJoeout.
Folks, the Democrats should nominate someone else – before it’s too late. #swapJoeout

“Look, I debated Joe 7 times in 2020. In 2024, he is a different person. #swapJoeout,” Yang wrote in another post.

“What is Joe Biden’s superpower? He is a good man who will do what is right for the country. In this case, that is letting the Democratic National Committee choose another nominee,” Yang added.

In CNN’s post-debate discussion, moderators appeared panicked and convinced that Biden had lost the debate.
After failing to run for president, Yang also ran for mayor of New York City, also unsuccessfully.
