Senate Democrats to Hold Meeting Next Week to Discuss Biden


Key House and Senate Democrats are planning meetings next week to discuss the path forward for President Joe Biden. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries will convene a virtual meeting with Democratic committee ranking members, expected to focus on Biden’s future as the party’s nominee. Senator Mark Warner is organizing a group of Democratic senators to discuss concerns about Biden’s electability and potential impact on down-ballot races. While some House Democrats have called for Biden to drop out of the 2024 race, senators have not yet taken a public stance.

The House committee meeting is scheduled for Sunday, a day before lawmakers return to Washington following the Fourth of July recess. Jeffries had previously described Biden’s debate performance as a setback but suggested a potential comeback. Biden and the White House have stated that he will stay in the race and beat Trump in November. Senator John Fetterman said he had not been approached about discussions regarding Biden stepping aside.

During a rally in Wisconsin, Biden reaffirmed his commitment to the race, and a campaign aide referred to this statement when asked about the Warner-organized meeting. Fetterman expressed confidence in Biden’s ability to beat Trump and criticized Democrats who may be panicking about the situation. The meetings come amid internal Democratic discussions about Biden’s candidacy and the potential impact on the upcoming election.
