Dem senators' Biden huddle called off

Senate Democrats won't meet Monday to discuss their support for President Biden continuing his re-election bid, despite an effort by Sen.

Mark Warner (D-Va.) to organize such a meeting, Axios has learned.

Warner's meeting had been seen as a potential watershed moment for Senate Democrats, who have remained largely silent on Biden's future amid calls for him to step aside.

Sen.

Mark Warner (D-Va.) last week was reaching out to Democratic senators about meeting to discuss Biden's path forward, but that meeting was never scheduled, a person familiar with Warner's thinking told Axios.

Details of the proposed meeting leaking out made it impossible for there to be a private conversation, the source said.Senate Democrats as a whole will meet Tuesday for a regularly scheduled caucus meeting.

Democratic senators are having ongoing conversations about whether Biden should remain at the top of the ticket amid concerns about his mental acuity, the source said.

Biden's handlers were all 'you must not like your seat anymore' and they folded like a cheap tent

It is because they finally realized they seem foolish for moving forward on something that Joe Biden said he isn't dropping out. Finally, they are waking up.

The fact a faction of the Democratic Party was trying to remove Biden from the ticket shows the American people the party is unfit to lead.

Warner is going to pay for this come primary time

Good. They should be supporting Biden, not trying to stab him in the back. WE the voters want Biden.

He's finished. Biden needs to just resign.

So, Warner's coup failed before it even started.

Should internal political discussions about a leader's future be kept private or shared with the public? Why?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How does the idea of senators questioning a president's mental acuity make you feel about the criteria we use to judge our leaders?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

If you were a senator, would you support a leader based on party loyalty or personal conviction about their capabilities?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How important do you think it is for political leaders to openly discuss their concerns about a leader's ability to serve effectively?
