Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) confirmed on Tuesday he continues to back President Joe Biden despite the continuing calls for him to step aside in the wake of the president’s first debate against former President Donald Trump since the 2020 election.

Casey was asked by CNN Chief Congressional Correspondent Manu Raju whether he harbors “any concerns” over whether Biden is capable of serving another four years, and declared his continued support for Biden, even as seven Democratic members of the U.S. House have called for Biden to step aside.

One day after Wednesday’s Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision imposing a Democrat-favored congressional map, state Senator David Argall (R-Mahanoy City) is legislating to limit similar future rulings.
