US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the re-election campaign would be good for the country and the party.
Chuck Schumer met with President Biden last Saturday. This influential Democratic leader told Biden this in that meeting. ABC News reported this news in a report on Wednesday.
The report also said that not only Chuck Schumer, but also Hakeem Jeffries, the leader of the Democratic Party of the US Congress, directly expressed the same opinion to Biden. A source related to their conversation told ABC News.
Chuck Schumer's office said in a statement after the news was published in the press, that the report is just idle speculation. Chuck Schumer delivered his caucus sentiment directly to President Biden on Saturday.
On the other hand, Hakeem Jefferies' office was contacted by Reuters. However, there was no immediate response.
Adam Schiff, a member of Congress from the Democratic Party, called on Biden to withdraw from the election yesterday. About this, 20 members of the Democratic Party in Congress publicly asked Biden to step down.
The presidential election will be held in the United States in November. Current President Joe Biden is running from the Democratic Party. Former President Donald Trump is running from the Republican Party.
On June 27, Biden and Trump faced off in a debate. The 81-year-old Biden was very slan. George Biden could not answer Trump's questions emphatically. After this, the demand of withdrawing Biden's candidacy started to rise from inside and outside his own party.
