President Joe Biden’s closest advisers are assuring concerned Democrats that they are relaying their apprehensions about Biden’s political standing directly to the president himself. During a closed-door meeting with a group of the president’s top aides, which included campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon and advisers Mike Donilon and Steve Ricchetti, senators expressed their uncertainties about how their feedback would reach Biden.
Ricchetti assured the senators that he had taken detailed notes during the meeting and guaranteed that their perspectives would be communicated to Biden. He stated, 'I promise I am sitting down with him to go over this,' according to a source.
Following the meeting with Senate Democrats, it was evident that there was no unanimous agreement among members regarding the president’s political future. Despite the lack of consensus, Biden’s closest aides are resolute that he will continue in the race.
After a lackluster debate performance last month, Biden reportedly sought advice from allies on his next steps. The president’s team is actively engaging with concerns raised by Democrats and ensuring that these issues are brought to Biden’s attention.
