Private Meeting Among Sen. Democrats To Discuss Biden Won’t Happen After All: Report
HuffPost
The news comes as several party leaders in the House reportedly said they think the president should end his campaign.
Senate Democrats will not meet on Monday to discuss future support for President Joe Biden’s reelection bid, despite Sen. Mark Warner’s (D-Va.) attempt to gather colleagues to chart a path forward, Axios reported on Sunday.
Warner, the chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, reportedly began reaching out to fellow Democrats last week following Biden’s disastrous debate performance against former President Donald Trump. Some senators — including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) — have reiterated their support for Biden after his appearance, but many in the chamber have remained quiet.
Axios said leaks about Warner’s efforts hampered any chance of having a private conversation about how the party could best move forward before next month’s Democratic National Convention. Senators will return to Washington on Tuesday after a two-week break and Democrats will hold a regularly scheduled caucus meeting that day.
Warner’s team would not confirm or deny to The Washington Post on Friday that the lawmaker was seeking to have Biden drop out.
“Like many other people in Washington and across the country, Senator Warner believes these are critical days for the president’s campaign, and he has made that clear to the White House,” a spokeswoman told the Post at the time.
