It has been noted that Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer recently told President Joe Biden in a private meeting that it would be best to end his presidential bid as per ABC News’ report on Wednesday evening.
“Schumer forcefully made the case that it would be better for Biden, better for the Democratic Party, and better for the country if he were to bow out,” Jonathan Karl said while reporting from the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
Karl stated that there has been no denial from Schumer’s camp. The senator’s office said, “Leader Schumer conveyed the views of his caucus.”
Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has made similar statements “directly to the president,” Karl added.
Last week, Schumer signaled in private that though he backs Biden publicly, he was open to having another person at the top of the Democratic ticket.
81-year-old Joe Biden has been facing growing calls to end his reelection bid after his poor debate performance last month and subsequent interviews in which he did little to quell fears he can defeat former President Donald Trump in November and serve another four years.
Biden was recently tested positive for Covid-19 and is suffering mild symptoms, the White House has said. Karine Jean-Pierre, his press secretary, said the US president is vaccinated and boosted. He has tested positive for Covid twice before.
Biden was seen earlier on Wednesday visiting supporters in Las Vegas and speaking at an event. He has canceled a campaign speech later in the night. The illness comes as he faces increasing pressure to step aside because of his age.
