SAN ANTONIO – Current Mayor Ron Nirenberg and former Mayor Julian Castro disagree on whether President Joe Biden should stay in the race following his latest debate against former President Donald Trump.
It was around 8 p.m. on Tuesday night when Castro posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, that Biden should step down.

Castro, seemingly referring to Biden’s ability to campaign, said the president “looks very likely to lose to Trump.”
Defeating Donald Trump is too important for Democrats to do nothing.
With the understanding that the stakes are so high, President Biden should make the difficult decision to withdraw from the race.

Less than 5 minutes later, Nirenberg posted a message saying he was “proud to stand behind” Biden.
They both have a history with the president; Nirenberg has visited the White House several times during the Biden presidency and even met with Biden at the border in Brownsville, Texas, earlier this year.
On the other hand, Julian Castro was part of the Obama administration with then Vice-President Joe Biden and ran against the president for the Democratic nomination four years ago, at one point questioning Biden’s memory during a debate in Houston.
