Former Clinton adviser calls on Biden to Withdraw over Assault allegations
Peter Dauo, a political activist and one-time fierce Hillary Clinton backer, took to Twitter Saturday to urge former Vice President
Joe Biden to end his presidential bid over
new developments in the sexual assault allegation against him.
Dauo, who worked for Clinton during her first presidential bid and was a prominent defender of her in the 2016 cycle, took to Twitter Saturday morning to say "Biden should withdraw."
In a "difficult" Twitter thread, Daou said the new information emerging in support of Tara Reade's sexual assault allegations against Biden prompted his stance.
"Credible rape accusations are disqualifying or we have NO moral standards," Daou wrote.
Dauo suggests Democrats should reboot the presidential primary.
Sanders could "restart his campaign." And other former candidates could "replace" Biden, Dauo said, naming Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro.
