President Biden is set to meet with Democratic governors to address concerns about his health and mental well-being. The meeting, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. in the White House's Roosevelt Room, will include prominent governors such as Tim Walz, Gavin Newsom, Andy Beshear, and J. B. Pritzker.
Gov. Beshear emphasized the importance of a direct and candid conversation with the president to ensure his well-being. Gov. Pritzker expressed support for Biden's decisions regarding his campaign, reaffirming his commitment to Biden as the nominee.
Rep. Lloyd Doggett of Texas recently called for Biden to withdraw from the race following a perceived poor performance in a debate against former President Trump. Concerns about Biden's mental acuity have been raised by some, including Rep. Ronny Jackson, who served as physician to the president during previous administrations.
The media and some members of the Democratic Party have criticized Biden's debate performance, with calls for him to step aside before the election. Despite this, Biden's allies, including former President Obama and first lady Jill Biden, have reiterated their support for his re-election.
As the discussion around Biden's health continues, the meeting with Democratic governors aims to address these concerns and provide clarity on Biden's future in the campaign.
