Gathering up the names of Democratic senators and House members who have called on President Biden to withdraw his re-election campaign in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris, or another prominent party member is, yes, a bit like hearding cats. DuckDuckGo it and you’ll find several news outlet sites offering up their lists, but many of them are several days old.

But USA Today is trying to keep up with a running list. While its list Friday morning did not include Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT), who announced his call for Biden to step down before Donald J. Trump completed his hour-and-a-half GOP nomination speech, the newspaper does note that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) has scheduled a meeting with the president for Friday.

Tester became the second Democratic senator after Peter Welch, of Vermont, to call on Biden to withdraw. Here are the 18 Democratic US representatives who have called for his withdrawal, according to USA Today…

•Greg Stanton, Vermont.

•Raúl Grijalva, Arizona.

•Scott Peters, California.

•Brittany Petterson, Colorado.

•Jim Himes, Connecticut.

•Ed Chase, Hawaii.

•Brad Schneider, Illinois.

•Eric Sorensen, Illinois.

•Mike Quigley, Illinois.

•Seth Moulton, Massachusetts.

•Hillary Scholten, Michigan.

•Angie Craig, Minnesota.

•Mike Sherrill, New Jersey.

•Pat Ryan, New York.

•Earl Blumenauer, Oregon.

•Lloyd Doggett, Texas.

•Adam Smith, Washington.

•Mike Levin, California.
