Co-founder of Netflix and a prominent Democratic donor, Reed Hastings, has called for President Joe Biden to step down as the Democratic Party’s nominee for the upcoming U.S. presidential election.
In an interview with the New York Times, Hastings underscored the need for a “vigorous” Democratic leader to effectively challenge Donald Trump of the Republican Party and ensure the party’s continued success and prosperity.
The election scheduled for November 5 is said to be America’s first rematch election in nearly 70 years.
Meanwhile, Biden met for more than hour at the White House on Wednesday night, in person and virtually, with more than 20 Democratic governors who afterward described the conversation as “candid” but said they were standing behind Biden despite being concerned about a Trump victory in November.
