According to an ABC News report, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer privately met with President Biden last week to relay the concerns of the caucus and encourage him to step aside.
“Biden is going to see the whole house of cards come down soon,” one Democratic source said.
From ABC News:
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer went to see Biden in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, on Saturday. Shortly after the meeting, Schumer’s office put out a statement, saying only, “I sat with President Biden this afternoon in Delaware; we had a good meeting.”
The meeting didn’t get much attention as it happened shortly before the assassination attempt later that day on former President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania.
A knowledgeable source close to both men tells me Schumer had a blunt conversation with Biden, making the case it would be best if Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race.
When asked about this, Schumer’s spokesperson declined to comment on specifics of the meeting, saying only that “Leader Schumer conveyed the views of his caucus.”
Later, the leader’s spokesperson added: “Unless ABC’s source is Chuck Schumer or President Joe Biden the reporting is idle speculation. Leader Schumer conveyed the views of his caucus directly to President Biden on Saturday.”
Earlier this month, Schumer expressed that he still supports Biden; “I’m with Joe,” Schumer repeatedly told reporters on the Hill.
"I'm not with Joe"
