A group of 20 Democratic governors emerged from a Wednesday evening White House meeting expressing full support for President Biden as questions about whether he will remain at the top of the ticket continue to swirl.
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore speaks to reporters after meeting with President Joe Biden, Wednesday, July 3, 2024, at the White House in Washington, as New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz listen.
Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota said the meeting took place because they were “worried” about Mr. Biden, but they felt reassured after spending roughly a half-hour with him. When asked whether Mr. Biden was fit for office, Mr. Walz replied, “Yes.” But he did acknowledge the debate performance was “bad.” “We came in and we were honest about the feedback we were getting. We were honest about the concerns we’re hearing from people,” Mr. Moore said.
Others who attended included several who have been suggested as possible replacements for Mr. Biden should he decide to step down, including Gov. J.B. Pritzker of Illinois, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
