Sen. Chuck Schumer would not answer questions about Biden's debate performance or concerns among Democrats about his candidacy.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has refused to comment on President Biden's poor presidential candidate debate performance last month against former President Trump or the concerns it has raised for many about Biden's ability to serve another term. Schumer's staff was asked Monday by Fox News Digital how he felt about Biden's debate performance and whether the interview the president did with ABC News last week calmed any concerns among Democrat senators.
The majority leader has not commented on the debate or mounting Democrat fears. However, he told reporters last week and again on Monday that he remains supportive of Biden. 'I'm with Joe Biden,' he said at a New York press conference on July 2. 'I'm for Joe,' he reportedly reiterated while walking into the Senate on Monday.
Senate Democrats are expected to discuss their feelings on Biden's continued candidacy on Tuesday afternoon during a regularly scheduled policy lunch. Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., who has since revealed his intention to have a conversation about 'the strongest path forward' for Democrats in 2024, had originally tried to recruit Democrats for a Monday meeting to specifically address concerns about Biden.
