Biden to meet with Democratic governors as White House works to shore up support
SUMMARY
President Biden plans to meet with Democratic governors on Wednesday as part of an effort to solidify support following a lackluster debate performance. Governors Tim Walz, Gavin Newsom, J.B. Pritzker, and others will attend, some in person and others virtually. This meeting is significant as Democratic governors are concerned over Biden's limited outreach during his campaign. Rep. Lloyd Doggett recently suggested Biden drop out of the presidential race, a notion the campaign dismissed. Governors have requested to hear directly from Biden, rather than through aides, to reassure them before they continue their support. Biden's campaign is working to address these concerns and maintain party unity.
