As President Joe Biden’s campaign leaders are set to meet with Democratic senators on Thursday to ease concerns about his health and mental acuity to be president, House Democrats are fuming that they have not been granted the same opportunity.
Biden has historically been a Senate guy, having served there for 36 years. But some House members say he’s overlooking a huge block of Democrats who also need their consciences calmed about his ability to serve for another four years — and Democratic House members are taking note.
One House Democrat described Biden and his team’s outreach as “shockingly sluggish,” especially as more House members began to voice their opposition to Biden staying on the top of the ticket.
