Democrats returned to Washington with no clear consensus on whether President Biden should be the party's nominee for president.
Democrats remain divided on how to handle President Biden's campaign missteps. Party leaders like Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-NY, say they back Biden, but even Schumer's close deputy Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash, , is among the members questioning Biden's ability to be the party's nominee.
Montana Senator Jon Tester, perhaps the most vulnerable Democrat running for reelection in a state Trump won handily in 2020, pointed to a written statement he issued a day earlier saying he had concerns and the president needed to demonstrate he could do the job. He called the closed door discussion Tuesday “constructive.”
Asked about any consensus in the room, Missouri Rep. Emanuel Cleaver deadpanned: “the consensus was not to talk to you guys.” One member who was granted anonymity to discuss the private meeting told NPR the meeting felt “like a funeral” and that there was a lot of talk about how difficult the situation is for Democrats.
Several Democrats who did speak to reporters stressed that Biden was the nominee and the party needs to return to campaigning and making the contrast between Biden’s record and Trump’s agenda.
