Despite publicly supporting President Joe Biden's reelection campaign, many top Democrats privately are worried, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Party members see poll results constantly showing voters are deeply concerned about 80-year-old Biden's age, his fitness for office, and his leadership.
"It would be irresponsible for us to not be concerned at this point," one unnamed DNC member told the Journal. "People can be hopeful about what the result is going to be. But we don't have any evidence as to why we should be hopeful. The polling is bad. The approval ratings are bad. We know about concerns about both the president's age and about the vice president if she were to take over.
Other Democrats, though, say that's unlikely. Barring a health scare or other unforeseen circumstances, Biden isn't quitting the race. "My view of this is, this is an academic issue. Biden's running, and he's going to be the nominee. That is just the reality."
