Four House Democrats said during a leadership call Sunday that President Biden should drop his reelection bid, three people on the call told The Washington Post’s Capitol Hill team.
Those who forcefully made the case for the president to drop his reelection bid were: Reps. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), Joseph Morelle (D-N.Y.), Mark Takano (D-Calif.) and Adam Smith (D-Wash.), according to the three on the call who were granted anonymity to discuss a private meeting.
The leadership call, usually held on Wednesdays when the chamber is in session, was moved up to Sunday afternoon by Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) amid members’ restlessness over Biden’s reelection prospects.
As the meeting was going on, Biden campaigned in Pennsylvania on Sunday.
He and his staff remain defiant against calls to drop his bid after a damaging debate performance.
