President Joe Biden is retreating with close family members to discuss his reelection path forward after a horrendous debate performance Thursday night with former President Donald Trump.
NBC News reports that Biden will huddle with his family at the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland after a debate “that left many fellow Democrats worried about his ability to beat” Trump in the fall, according to five sources.
The outlet said that the trip was planned before the debate. The president and first lady Jill Biden joined their children and grandchildren late Saturday.
“So far, the party’s top leaders have offered public support for Biden, including in tweets posted by former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. Senior congressional Democrats, including Reps. Hakeem Jeffries of New York, Jim Clyburn of South Carolina and Nancy Pelosi of California, have privately expressed concerns about his viability, said two sources apprised of those discussions, even as they all publicly back the president,” NBC reported.
