Biden to meet with Democratic governors as concerns mount following the debate
President Joe Biden is scheduled to meet with Democratic governors as he attempts to tamp down growing concerns about his campaign.
President Joe Biden is set to meet with Democratic governors Wednesday as he tries to tamp down growing concerns about his ability to serve a second term following a devastating debate performance last week.
The White House said the event is scheduled to take place at 6:30 p.m. ET. The details of the meeting, which is expected to include a video call for those who aren't attending person, are still being hashed out, according to three sources familiar with planning.
The Biden campaign declined to comment.
Democratic governors huddled by phone Monday, according to two Democratic sources, to discuss the party's path forward after the debate. That call, organized by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, chairman of the Democratic Governors Association, involved no staff members or White House or Biden campaign staff members. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, who was critical to landing the Democratic National Convention for Chicago, was on the call, too.
The governors expressed their concerns after Biden’s poor debate performance.
