Key House and Senate Democrats are planning meetings next week to discuss the future of President Joe Biden amid concerns about his electability and potential impact on down-ballot races. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is convening a virtual meeting with Democratic committee ranking members, while Sen. Mark Warner is organizing a group of senators to discuss the situation. Two House Democrats have called for Biden to drop out of the 2024 race following a poor debate performance, but senators have not yet taken a public stance. Biden and the White House have maintained that he will stay in the race, with Biden insisting that he will beat Trump in November. Despite concerns, some Democrats, like Sen. John Fetterman, remain confident in Biden’s ability to win. The meetings come as House lawmakers are set to return to Washington after the Fourth of July recess. Overall, there is a mix of opinions among Democrats about Biden’s future, with some calling for confidence and others expressing doubts.
