Democrats in Congress mostly resist calling for Biden to drop out despite private concerns: reports
Fox News
Democrats in Congress at an all-caucus meeting Tuesday expressed concern about whether President Biden can defeat former President Trump but publicly resisted calls to drop out.
However, in a sharply worded letter sent Monday, Biden insisted that he would stay in the race and urged party leaders to refocus their criticisms on former President Trump. The letter seemed to at least temporarily slow the momentum of Democrats who are publicly calling for the president to step aside. Most members instead are towing the party line on Biden publicly, at least for now. Danielle Wallace is a reporter for Fox News Digital covering politics, crime, police and more.

At least 20 Democratic lawmakers stood up to speak during the nearly two-hour all-caucus meeting Tuesday, in what for many is an existential moment for their country considering a second Trump presidency, The Associated Press reported. Most of those who spoke wanted Biden to end his candidacy, a person granted anonymity to discuss the meeting told the outlet.
