resident Joe Biden will meet with Democratic governors on Wednesday, nearly a week after his concerning debate performance against Republican nominee Donald Trump. Some governors will join Biden in person, while others will attend virtually.
The White House confirmed this meeting after a call by worried Democratic governors on Monday evening. This call followed Biden’s debate performance and led to a decision to talk directly with the President.
Three Democratic sources confirmed the Monday call, noting that the Biden campaign was aware of the meeting beforehand. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, the chairman of the Democratic Governors Association, organized the conversation, according to two sources.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated that Biden will meet with congressional leaders this week and have a one-on-one interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos.
