President Joe Biden recently reached out to House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries for the first time since his debate performance last week, which caused concern within the party. This communication comes after a period of uncertainty following the debate, with House Democratic lawmakers expressing worry.
Efforts to obtain a comment from Jeffries' office regarding the conversation were made. Additionally, on Monday, Biden also contacted Sen. Chris Coons, a close friend and co-chair of his re-election campaign. Coons has been a vocal supporter of the president, particularly in light of the recent debate incident.
