Senator Chuck Schumer “forcefully” urged President Joe Biden behind closed doors to exit the race, ABC News reports, though the senator’s office called the claim “idle speculation.”
“This was a one-on-one meeting, the Senate leader and the president, in which Chuck Schumer forcefully made the case that it would be better for Biden, better for the Democratic Party, and better for the country if he’d bow out of the race,” ABC News correspondent Johnathan Karl said, adding that Schumer’s office didn’t deny reports, but that he was conveying the caucus views in the meeting.
