Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer advised President Biden in a one-on-one meeting in Delaware Saturday to drop out of the presidential race, ABC News reported.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, speaks with reporters on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, July 9, 2024.
“Unless ABC’s source is Senator Chuck Schumer or President Joe Biden the reporting is idle speculation,” a Schumer spokesperson said. “Leader Schumer conveyed the views of his caucus directly to President Biden on Saturday.” Not long after the ABC report, CNN reported that Mr. Biden is becoming more “receptive” to the push for him to leave the ticket and has gone from saying privately that Vice President Kamala Harris “can’t win” to questioning if she can win.
Mr. Jeffries sent a letter to his caucus on Friday informing them that he requested and was granted a meeting with Mr. Biden to share the “candid, clear-eyed and comprehensive” feedback they had provided him that week. The two met Thursday evening. So far, 21 Democrats have publicly called on Mr. Biden to step aside as the party’s presidential nominee. Many more have raised concerns about his path to victory without directly asking him to drop out.
