Summary
Rep. Mikie Sherrill, D-NJ, called on President Biden to step aside from the campaign. No other House or Senate Democrats joined the push for the president to withdraw as the 2024 presidential nominee. House Democrats huddled in a private meeting Tuesday morning at the Democratic National Committee headquarters close to the Capitol.
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver deadpanned: “the consensus was not to talk to you guys.” California Rep. Lou Correa said the “vast, vast majority” of those who spoke up during the private session support Biden as the nominee.
“The question of how to move forward has been well aired for over a week now,” the letter read. Rep. Deborah Ross declined to talk about Tuesday’s caucus discussion, but used a political term southerners often use to describe Democrats.
