Senate Democrats Unite Over a Conspicuous Silence on Biden

Senate Democrats are dealing with Joe Biden’s dismal debate performance just how you might expect senators to handle it: They’re having meetings, talking, deliberating, deliberating some more, and then not doing much else.

For now.

Democrats emerged from a two-hour lunch meeting on Tuesday afternoon conspicuously quiet about their conversations. So on-message were the senators that reporters started asking if they’d received a directive from leadership to not talk to the press.
