During a Senate Democratic lunch today, several senators voiced their doubts about President Joe Biden's ability to win the upcoming election. Senators Michael Bennet, Sherrod Brown, and Jon Tester reportedly expressed their concerns to their colleagues, indicating a lack of confidence in Biden's re-election prospects.
According to a source familiar with the discussion, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer seemed resigned to the situation, suggesting that it was almost inevitable that Biden would struggle in the election. Schumer reportedly indicated that there was little he could do to change the situation and advised the concerned senators to directly address their apprehensions with the president.
The candid remarks from these Democratic senators highlight a growing unease within the party regarding Biden's electoral viability. While the specifics of their reservations were not disclosed, the fact that such sentiments were shared during a party gathering underscores the seriousness of the situation.
As the midterms approach, Democrats are facing increasing pressure to assess their electoral strategy and candidate selection. The internal discussions within the party reflect a broader debate about the best path forward to secure victory in the upcoming election.
It remains to be seen how these concerns will impact the Democratic Party's approach to the election and whether any further actions will be taken in response to the expressed doubts about President Biden's re-election prospects.
