Andrew Yang urges Biden to step aside 'for the good of the country'

Forward Party co-founder Andrew Yang on Wednesday told "Fox & Friends" that the "dam is about to break" as more Democratic voices come forward to demand that President Biden step aside. 

Yang, who ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic nomination in 2020, said Biden should let go of his party's nomination in 2024 "for the good of the country." 

"I think that the Democratic Party has a lot of talent. I think there are reasonable governors around the country, by the way, I think he's meeting with a number of those governors today." 

Yang predicted that Democrats will have an open convention in August and floated several names as possible replacements for Biden, including Governors Andy Beshear of Kentucky, Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania and Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan. 

"I think that's healthy for democracy," Yang said. "The fact is, a majority of voters were concerned about Joe before the debate. Now, it's a clear majority. And he talks about defending democracy. I think democracy would have been better served if we had a real primary. But a contested convention, at least, is still much better than coronation of a candidate that, in this case, is best served by following George Washington's example and stepping aside for the good of the country."
