Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) is organizing a group of Senate Democrats to talk about President Biden’s path forward in the 2024 election, Axios has learned.
Warner has approached lawmakers amid a groundswell of Democrats who have called for Biden to drop out of the race from the race after his debate performance last week.
Warner, chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, has approached Democratic senators for a Monday night discussion about Biden, a source familiar with the discussions told Axios. Warner’ push was first reported by the Washington Post.
Biden and his allies have said he is not going to leave the 2024 race, a point the president emphasized Friday afternoon at a rally in Madison, Wis.
Warner’s efforts could represent a significant escalation in Democratic voices on Capitol Hill calling on the president to step aside.
