“I know that President Biden and his team have been true public servants and have put the country and the best interests of democracy first and foremost in their considerations," Sherrill said. "And because I know President Biden cares deeply about the future of our country, I am asking that he declare that he won’t run for reelection and will help lead us through a process toward a new nominee.”

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Rep. Mikie Sherrill, D-N.J., called on President Joe Biden to end his re-election bid after a meeting Tuesday morning with fellow House Democrats on the 2024 race.

The New Jersey lawmaker said in a statement that "the stakes are too high — and the threat is too real — to stay silent," and that Biden should redirect his efforts toward identifying a new Democratic nominee.

“I know that President Biden and his team have been true public servants and have put the country and the best interests of democracy first and foremost in their considerations," Sherrill said.

"And because I know President Biden cares deeply about the future of our country, I am asking that he declare that he won’t run for reelection and will help lead us through a process toward a new nominee.”

The Biden campaign did not immediately provide a comment on Sherrill's statement.
