Biden invites Democratic governors to the White House amid reports that as many as 25 Democratic House members are preparing to call for him to exit the race
Good morning, US politics readers. Joe Biden has invited Democratic governors to meet with him at the White House today as the president faces increasingly concerning polls and growing calls to withdraw his candidacy, following last week’s disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump. On Tuesday, a House Democrat from Texas, Lloyd Doggett, became the first in his party to publicly urge Biden to step aside.
Later that evening, a House Democratic aide said that as many as 25 Democratic House members are preparing to call for Biden to withdraw from the race. According to Reuters, Kamala Harris would be the top alternative to replace Biden if he did decide to step down – although there are no signs that that the president is considering doing so.
