 In the New York Times, filmmaker George Clooney said Biden should quit the race to give Democrats a chance of defeating Donald Trump. Congressman Pat Ryan of New York and Earl Blumenauer of Oregon also became the 8th and 9th House Democrats to publicly call for Biden to drop his bid. Biden has scheduled a news conference where he's expected to take questions from the press at 5.30 p.m. Eastern today and has another TV interview, this time with Lester Holt of NBC, slated for Monday.
