“President Joe Biden’s outreach efforts to congressional Democrats haven’t quelled the party-wide panic over his future on the ticket — and the fight is about to get uglier,” Politico reports.
“Biden spoke Monday night with some of his most loyal supporters, telling a group of Black lawmakers: ‘You’ve had my back and I’ll continue to have yours,’ according to a person in the meeting. He plans to meet soon with a rattled group of House progressives. He personally called roughly 20 individual members over the past week, according to a campaign official. And he sent a letter to Democrats Monday morning forcefully committing to staying in the race.”
“But the party dismay over Biden’s electability has not abated.”
