ABC News: Schumer Tells Biden To End Reelection Campaign

Senate Democrat leader Chuck Schumer told President Joe Biden in a meeting on Saturday it would be better for the country and the Democratic Party if he ended his reelection campaign, ABC News reported on Wednesday.

Another news outlet, Politico, said Schumer met Biden at his home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Although Politico said it could not independently confirm ABC's account of their conversation, it described a grim prediction from Schumer that Democrats were on track to lose big in November.

That, according to a person "who was granted anonymity to speak freely about the private conversation."

According to Politico, the person said "the meeting discussed recent polling, the Democratic Party, and where it's headed," all of which was "predicated on the recent troubles facing the president."

Newsmax reports a Schumer spokesperson, in a statement Wednesday night, did not deny ABC's report directly, but called it "idle speculation," saying only that Schumer had conveyed the views of his caucus to the president.

Earlier on Wednesday, a leading Democrat and close ally of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Adam Schiff, became the 20th congressional Democrat to publicly call for Biden to drop out of the race.

Voters Want Fresh  Face

Meanwhile, The NY Post reports President Biden trails “nearly every” Democrat tested as an alternative party leader with voters — including Vice President Kamala Harris — in seven critical battleground states, according to a disastrous new poll.

A BlueLabs Analytics polling memo distributed to Democratic Party — which interviewed more than 15,000 voters in important swing states, including Pennsylvania — found that alternative candidates have an average three-point lead on the 81-year-old commander-in-chief.

“Nearly every tested Democrat performs better than the President. This includes Vice President Kamala Harris who runs better than the President,” the survey concluded.
