(ConservativeFreePress.com) – On Saturday, Senate Democrat leader Chuck Schumer stated during a meeting with President Joe Biden that the country and the Democratic Party would be better off if he put an end to his reelection campaign. This was reported on Wednesday by ABC News.
Politico, in its own report, noted that Schumer had met Biden in his Rehoboth Beach, Delaware home. However, this outlet was unable to confirm independently the account that ABC had reported on. Still, this report noted that Schumer had made a prediction that the Democrats would be losing big in November. The source for this discussion was granted anonymity in order to speak freely.
Politico noted that the source had revealed that the meeting was focused on discussing recent polling and the direction of the Democratic Party, all of which is affected by the troubles that President Joe Biden has had to face.
On Wednesday night, a spokesperson for Schumer had not denied the report by ABC directly but had stated that the report was “idle speculation” and that during the meeting Schumer had just shared with the president his views about the caucus.
Earlier that day, Rep. Adam Schiff, who is a leading Democrat, became the 20th congressional Democrat to call for President Biden to leave the presidential race.
According to Politico, last week during a private meeting, two other Democrat caucus members had also pushed for Biden to drop out of the race.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has recently expressed concerns that Biden might not be able to win reelection in November. The Democrats have expressed concerns about whether 81-year-old Biden is in a position to defeat former President Donald Trump or be in power for another four-year term.
