Just before House Democrats’ “come-to-Jesus” meeting on President Biden’s path forward, a smaller group of swing-district Democrats held what sources described as a despondent gathering with “actual tears,” Axios reports.
The bloc of battleground House Democrats is one of the last firm pockets of a rapidly disintegrating movement on Capitol Hill to get Biden off the ticket.
Said one lawmaker: “As someone who wanted the reckoning and is really disappointing that it’s over, trust me: it’s over.”
Punchbowl News: “The backdrop here is brutal for House Democrats and the broader Democratic Party. It appears they’re stuck with Biden, unwilling or unable to move against him. The political picture is incredibly grim for the party.”
