President Joe Biden on Friday is meeting with three groups of House Democrats — which include dozens of members anxious about his future on the ticket — as he works to rescue his flailing candidacy.
Biden has scheduled meetings with the political arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus and the centrist New Democrat Coalition as he shores up support among key blocs in the party, according to four people familiar with the matter.
Leaders of the New Democrats met with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries earlier this week to voice concerns about Biden’s impact on their purple-district lawmakers.
The Hispanic caucus leaders have publicly supported Biden, though some of its lawmakers, including those from purple districts, have issued more tepid endorsements of his candidacy. And the chair of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, Rep. Judy Chu (D-Calif.), has voiced concerns about Biden’s candidacy.
