A Texas woman is grieving the shocking loss of her baby. 

Casi Hughes was walking across a street back to her home after watching a fireworks show July 3, when she was struck by a hit-and-run driver.

"All of a sudden, somebody said watch out, and I looked to my left, and there was a car. And I remember trying to jump out of the way," Hughes, who was eight months pregnant at the time, told FOX 4. "I want to know why they didn’t stop." 

She said she realized she had lost her son as she was being flown to a hospital.

"’Y’all need to get the baby. Y’all need to take the baby. Y’all need to cut me open and get the baby,’" she said she kept telling first responders through tears. "And the only thing I remember throughout that whole trip was the look on the flight mate’s face while he was trying to find the heartbeat. And I kept asking him if he could find it or if he heard anything at all, and it was like he wouldn’t even look at me. I just knew as soon as I watched him that he was gone."

The suspect was driving a white or silver passenger vehicle, police said. Investigators are searching for video of the incident but don’t have any suspects yet.

Hughes is also recovering from fractures to her face, back, pelvis and left leg.

Hughes is also a mom to a 20-year-old stepdaughter and a 13-year-old son. 

"I've just been taking it day by day," she told FOX 4. "Somebody knows something. I want to know how they sleep at night."

The Palestine Police Department reached out to the public Friday for help identifying a suspect. Anyone with information is asked to call 903-729-2254 or the Anderson County Crimestoppers' Tip Line at 903-729-8477. 

The Palestine Police Department did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Newly minted Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance wrote in an X post Friday that if Democrats believe President Biden doesn’t have the mental acuity to continue to run for re-election, it would be difficult to argue he should remain president until next January.

"If Joe Biden doesn't have the cognitive function to run for re-election, then he certainly doesn't have the cognitive function to remain as Commander-In-Chief," Vance posted. "How can any Dem pushing him to drop out of the presidential race, argue in good faith that he should stay on as POTUS?"

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., echoed that sentiment to reporters at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee Thursday. 

"The question is, if he's not going to be their nominee because he's not up to it, how can he be our president for the next six months?" Rubio said, according to Politico. "If there's something wrong with you that doesn't allow you to run for president, how can you still be there as president? If they're going to remove him as nominee, they’ve got to remove him as president, and that's really bad for our country."

Polling guru and FiveThirtyEight founder Nate Silver earlier this month wrote on X he also believes Biden should "transition the presidency to [Vice President Kamala] Harris within 30-60 days, but I’m there now. Something is clearly wrong here."

Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash., has also called on Biden to step down.

"Americans deserve to feel their president is fit enough to do the job," she told KGW-TV. "The crisis of confidence in the president’s leadership needs to come to an end. The president should do what he knows is right for the country and put the national interest first."

Increasing numbers of Democrats have called on Biden to exit the White House race after his disastrous debate performance late last month, fearing he would lose to Trump. 

Historian Alexis Coe wrote in a Rolling Stone op-ed Friday that Biden should resign to "preserve his legacy."

Presidential historian Allan Lichtman, who has accurately predicted nine of the last 10 elections, has also said that if Biden were to drop out of the race, handing over the presidency to Harris as she replaces him on the ticket would be the Democrats' best chance of keeping the White House in November. 

Biden and his campaign have said the president is "in it to win it," although reports have said he is reconsidering that amid increasing calls to drop out.
