President Biden engaged in a virtual call with members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) on Monday night to reinforce his support base. During the call, Biden expressed gratitude to the CBC for their unwavering support and assured them of his reciprocal loyalty.
According to sources familiar with the call, Biden conveyed, 'You’ve had my back, and I’ll continue to have yours,' emphasizing the importance of their alliance.
It was reported that the CBC is expected to issue a formal statement of support for Biden, signifying a significant endorsement that could bolster his position amidst internal challenges within the Democratic Party.
Several Democratic representatives, including Mike Quigley of Illinois, Seth Moulton of Massachusetts, Lloyd Doggett of Texas, Angie Craig of Minnesota, and Raul Grijalva of Arizona, have publicly called for Biden to step aside, highlighting the divisions within the party.
An endorsement from the CBC would serve as a crucial victory for Biden as he navigates opposition from factions seeking to derail his re-election campaign. The support from the caucus could provide a unified front and strengthen Biden's standing within the party.
