Today, the House Democratic leadership is holding a call, according to a reliable source. The specific time and agenda of the call remain unclear. This call comes at a time when panic has surged on Capitol Hill following President Joe Biden's widely criticized debate performance. Lawmakers, especially those running in competitive districts, are expressing concerns that Biden's presence on the ticket could negatively impact their chances in the upcoming November elections.
Within Democratic circles, there is a growing question about whether there will be a significant shift against Biden or if the president and his campaign can address the worries of anxious lawmakers and party leaders. A Democrat from a traditionally blue state shared that there has been a noticeable shift in sentiment over the past 24 hours. Delegates and voters alike have been conveying a consistent message: while they love and respect the president, they believe it may be time for a change.
This lawmaker highlighted that it is the first instance since Biden's debate performance that both delegates and rank-and-file Democratic voters have openly expressed their desire for Biden to consider stepping aside.
