According to a Fox News report, President Biden has been on the phone speaking with top Democrats and donors in an attempt to save his floundering re-election bid.
“President Biden has been incredibly busy working the phones,” a source familiar with the president’s efforts told Fox News Digital, adding that Biden will be making more calls on Tuesday.
From Fox News:
Amid numerous reports of House and Senate Democrats planning to abandon Biden over the weekend, the president began the day Monday by sending a letter to congressional Democrats saying he is “firmly committed to staying in this race” and argued that any further questioning of his candidacy “only helps Trump and hurts us.”
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner, D-Va., reportedly had been considering holding a meeting Monday to gather support from colleagues to call on Biden to step aside.
That meeting did not take place, sources told Fox News Digital.
Instead, from the Senate, Americans saw Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., come out in support of the president, along with Sens. John Fetterman Catherine Cortez-Masto, and Raphael Warnock.
Far-left squad Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez also appears to be standing by Biden; “The matter is closed—Joe Biden is our nominee,” Ocasio-Cortez told Fox News. “He is not leaving this race. He is in this race and I support him.”
Biden is currently struggling in the polls in the wake of his disastrous debate. During his recent sitdown with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos, Biden was confronted with his 36% approval rating.
