Former President Obama and Nancy Pelosi have met privately to talk about President Biden’s 2024 campaign. CNN reports both Obama and the ex-House speaker expressed worries about Biden’s mental fitness and how difficult it will be for him to beat Donald Trump. CNN reporters spoke with over a dozen members of Congress and people in touch with Obama and Pelosi, and many have allegedly said the end of Biden’s candidacy feels clear.
Also, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries met with President Biden Thursday as a growing number of Democrats want the president to bow out of the 2024 election. Jeffries said he “expressed the full breadth of insight” from his caucus during a private meeting with the president Thursday evening.
Concerns are growing among Democratic members about Biden’s ability to beat former President Trump in November. So far, 17 House Democrats and one Senate Democrat have directly called on Biden to exit the race. Biden in a nearly hour-long press conference vowed to continue his campaign.
