Democratic leaders are facing a crisis as House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries schedules an emergency meeting to discuss the future of Joe Biden’s presidential campaign. The meeting, planned for Sunday afternoon, comes amidst rising concerns within the party over Biden’s political viability. Amidst public support for Biden’s campaign, some Democrats have expressed doubts, with Representative Angie Craig of Minnesota and Representative Mike Quigley of Illinois calling for Biden to step aside. Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner of Virginia has also raised concerns about Biden’s ability to defeat Donald Trump. The meeting, confirmed by a House Democratic official, will occur just before the House reconvenes in Washington, following Biden’s lackluster debate performance. Some Democrats are questioning Biden’s ability to defeat Trump and his overall fitness for office, prompting discussions about potential alternatives within the party. While Biden has received mixed feedback from colleagues, public calls for him to withdraw from the race are increasing. The planned meeting reflects the growing uncertainty within the Democratic Party regarding Biden’s candidacy and the need to strategize for the upcoming presidential election.
