Why another Democrat is bucking Biden as 'grave concerns' surface: Follow along for U.S. politics live updates
By Kelly Laco, Executive Editor Of Politics and Katelyn Caralle, Senior U.S. Political Reporter
Published: | Updated:
Welcome to the U.S. politics live blog where a blistering new post-debate poll for President Joe Biden shows him slipping behind Trump in nearly every battleground state.
Biden privately told a key ally he is weighing whether or not to drop out of the presidential race according to reports, a shocking admission that points to the dismal state of his candidacy.
He also met with Democrat governors at the White House to try and reassure them after his chief of staff made the case to aides to 'ignore the noise.'
But it didn't seem to go so well for the 81-year-old president.
Follow along for live coverage from DailyMail.com's political team:
Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton says he has 'grave concerns' about Biden's ability to beat Trump
Rep. Seth Moulton is the latest Democrat to express fears that President Joe Biden isn't up to the task to beat former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election.
Moulton sent out a statement Wednesday night saying he had 'grave concerns' about the 81-year-old reelection prospects.
'The unfortunate reality is that the status quo will likely deliver us Donald Trump,' the Massachusetts Democrat said.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom comes out in support of Biden after meeting
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has pledged his loyalty to Joe Biden's 2024 presidential bid.
'I heard three words from the President tonight -- he’s all in. And so am I,' Newsom tweeted after meeting with the president at the White House.
'[Joe Biden has] had our back. Now it’s time to have his.'
He was there along with a number of other notable Democrat governors like Michigan's Gretchen Whitmer - but notably didn't participate in the press conference afterward.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer backs Biden online but skips post-meeting presser
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer posted her support for President Joe Biden on X shortly after meeting with him at the White House.

Governors emerge from meeting with Joe Biden at White House with some notable Democrats absences
A cohort of Democrat governors emerged from a meeting with President Joe Biden at the White House feeling confident in his ability to continue in the presidential race.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Waltz walked out first and touted to reporters that he was reassured by Biden.
He said he and other were worried and wanted to address their concerns head on.
He was accompanied by Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, but there were noticeable absences from the post-meeting presser.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Michigan Gretchen Whitmer - both thought to be options to run in 2024 if Biden whithraws - were not at the event, and neither was Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker.

He was referring to recent polling that indicated Americans want another option.
'They’re just asking for a different choice.”
Top House Republican asks White House how much Hunter Biden has learned from sitting in on dad's meetings
House Intelligence Committee Chair Mike Turner sent a letter to the White House Wednesday asking about what sensitive conversations Hunter Biden has been sitting in on.

Closing arguments are expected to begin in the case next Monday.
Latest elected Democrat Raúl Grijalva joins pile-on to boot Biden from the 2024 race
A second sitting Democrat has called on President Joe Biden to withdraw from the presidential race, striking another blow to the campaign as defectors trickle out against him.
Arizona Democrat Raúl Grijalva, 76, is urging Biden not to run again, The New York Timeseported Wednesday. He is the second sitting Democrat to call for the president's withdrawal.
Two other House Democrats have openly said they believe former President Donald Trump will beat Biden - and that lack of confidence will surely be a topic of conversation between the party leaders which is planned for this evening.
'If he's the candidate, I'm going to support him, but I think that this is an opportunity to look elsewhere,' Grijalva said.
'What he needs to do is shoulder the responsibility for keeping that seat — and part of that responsibility is to get out of this race.'

Additionally, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker will attend.
Other outlets confirmed the participation of New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the current head of the Democratic Governors Association.
The meeting was called so Biden can make his case to top Democratic officials to stay in the race. He spoke with Congressional leaders Wednesday morning, the White House said.

Biden and Trump bickered over their golf handicaps during presidential debate: Voters say they know who would win over 18 holes
It was one of the oddest moments of last week's presidential debate: Two elderly men arguing about their prowess on the golf course.
It ended with President Joe Biden, 81, challenging his predecessor Donald Trump, 78, to a round.
And voters overwhelmingly believe Trump would win, according to an exclusive poll for DailyMail.com.
It found that 52 percent of likely voters believed the former president (and golf club owner) would beat Biden. Only 16 percent thought the Democratic candidate would win.
Even Democrats are not much convinced of their candidate's chances over 18 holes. A third say he would win, while 26 percent thought he would lose.
White House says Vice President Kamala Harris is the 'future of the Democratic Party'
By Sarah Ewall-Wice, Senior U.S. Political Reporter
The White House is calling Vice President Kamala Harris the 'future of the Democratic Party' even while insisting President Biden will 'absolutely not' step aside amid concerns over his ability to run for reelection.

'One of the reasons why he picked the vice president, President [sic] Kamala Harris is because she is indeed the future of the party,' Jean-Pierre said.
WSJ poll finds 80 percent of voters think Biden is too old to be president
A Wall Street Journal poll released on Wednesday found that 80 percent of respondents believe President Joe Biden is too old to run again.
The staggering margin reveals voters are now turned off by Biden's elderliness.
Ans it comes as the 81-year-old executive - already the oldest in history - offered a disjointed and slow debate performance concerning Democrat voters and politicians alike.
A DailyMail.com poll today further compounded Trump's apparent lead in the race, with voters giving him a 6-point lead against President Biden.
The news comes as Democrat strategists and lawmakers meet to discuss whether Biden can continue in his quest to beat Trump a second time.
White House says Biden, 81, STILL hasn't seen a doctor despite suffering from a cold
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Wednesday that President Joe Biden still has a cold - 18 days after he originally got it from his international travel - but still hasn't been checked out by the doctor.
'He still has a lingering cold,' she told DailyMail.com when asked about Biden's health.
The White House has given multiple, revolving explanations for Biden's terrible debate performance, where he trailed off when answering questions and switched between topics with no segway: a bad cold, too much debate prep, and not feeling great.
Biden, himself, added a new excuse to the mix when he blamed jet lag his international travel for his performance. But the president had been back in the country 12 days before the debate began and Jean-Pierre had not mentioned the jet lag when she talked to reporters on Tuesday.
She also said Biden hasn't had a medical examine since his annual physical in February.
Biden's physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, travels with him. He was seen by reporters at the president's villa in Italy. O'Connor also traveled with Biden to the debate in Atlanta.
But the 81-year-old Biden 'was not examined by the doctor,' en route to the debate, Jean-Pierre said.
House Democrat leadership to have a call this evening where Biden's condition will inevitably come up
House Democratic leadership will hop on a call this afternoon to discuss pressing matters including President Joe Biden.
The call for the liberal congressional leaders is planned for 5 p.m., Axios reports.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and other leadership team members are expected on the call.
Resistance to Biden's leadership has grown among Democratic lawmakers fighting for reelection after his poor debate performance last week.
'The dam is breaking,' one Democratic lawmaker said, as legislators mull whether the party will back someone other than the 81-year-old incumbent.
Trump campaign blasts Democrats for hiding Biden's 'cognitive state' - especially 'Cackling Copilot Kamala Harris'
Former President Donald Trump's campaign blasted Democrats Wednesday, saying party members and their allies colluded and hid President Joe Biden's 'cognitive state' from the American public.
Trump campaign heads Chris LaCivita and Susia Wiles placed the most blame on 'Cackling Copilot Kamala Harris.'
Here's what they said:
Every Democrat who is calling on Crooked Joe Biden to quit was once a supporter of Biden and his failed policies that lead to extreme inflation, an open border, and chaos at home and abroad. Make no mistake that Democrats, the main stream media, and the swamp colluded to hide the truth from the American public - Joe Biden is weak, failed, dishonest, and not fit for the White House. Every one of them has lied about Joe Biden’s cognitive state and supported his disastrous policies over the past four years, especially Cackling Copilot Kamala Harris.'
President Trump will beat any Democrat on November 5th because he has a proven record and an agenda to Make America Great Again.'
Additionally, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung called White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre a 'dummy' for saying at Wednesday's press briefing that 81-year-old Biden 'is as sharp as ever.'
She spent just under an hour answering reporters' questions about the continued political fallout from Thursday's presidential debate.
Republicans target Vice President Kamala Harris amid fallout over Biden's debate
Republicans are taking aim at Vice President Kamala Harris as President Biden faces mounting calls to step aside as the Democratic presidential nominee paving the way for the vice president to potentially top the ticket come November.
Republicans have accused Democrats of covering up the president's true fitness and took aim at Democrats in battleground states up and down the ballot.
The Republican House campaign arm on Wednesday launched a digital ad zeroing in on the vice president as Republicans look to hold the House and expand their slim majority this fall.
Dr. Fauci ducks on weighing in on Biden's health but makes surprising admission about what medication the president is likely taking
Former Chief Medical Advisor to the President of the United States Dr. Anthony Fauci dodged questions about Joe Biden's health after the president's concerning debate performance.
CBS host Major Garrett asked Fauci Tuesday if during the debate he saw anything that would 'medically alarm' him.
The pandemic patriarch demurred, saying 'You know, I can't say.'
'I think it would be inappropriate to say that, Major, because when you're just looking at someone on a one-shot basis, you just don't know what could happen,' Fauci said.
The doctor did suggest, however, that some medication could be behind Biden's sleepy showing.
Is Donald OK? Former president unusually quiet as Joe Biden clouded with controversies as Democrats panic
Former President Donald Trump has been surprisingly quiet in recent days, lessening his normal barrage of personal attacks towards President Joe Biden just as Democrats are frantically huddling to plan a path forward for the party.
Since the debate with the presidents last Thursday, chaos has engulfed the White House as staffers, reporters and lawmakers down the road on Capitol Hill are wondering if Biden is capable of running for reelection.
Trump has made the rounds posting polls that prove positive for the former president and claimed a recent Supreme Court ruling as a victory but has less so gone on the attack against Biden's age.
The former president is known for his fierce criticism of his opponents, and just when Biden appears to be his weakest, Trump seems to be laying off and letting the Democrats handle the situation.
'I'm gonna show up and, you know, I'm gonna campaign, whether it's him (Biden) or somebody else,' he said this week.
Biden breaks silence: 'I'm in this race to the end and we're going to win'
Emily Goodin, senior U.S. political reporter at the White House
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris called into a campaign staff meeting on Wednesday to give them a pep talk.
Biden told them he's staying in the race and going to win.
'Let me say this as clearly as I possibly can as simply and straightforward as I can: I am running…no one’s pushing me out. I’m not leaving. I’m in this race to the end and we’re going to win,' he said, according to reports.
Biden and Harris were having lunch at the White House on Wednesday. His statement comes amid reports he's told allies he's considering an exit plan.
The president and his team have engaged in a massive outreach campaign to reassure nervous staff, lawmakers, donors and allies of Biden's ability to beat Donald Trump in November.
Trump lead over Biden expands to SIX points following debate, according to NYTimes poll
Donald Trump now leads President Joe Biden 49 percent to 43 percent among likely voters nationally, according to a new New York Times/Siena poll conducted following the debate.
It's a three-point swing toward the Republican presumptive presidential nominee from just a week ago before the debate.
The six point gap is the largest lead Trump has had on Biden in the poll since 2015.

Democrat crucial to Joe Biden's 2020 election victory has long conversation with president as campaign concerns loom
Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., 83, had a long private conversation with Joe Biden Wednesday as the president looks to shore up his party's support, according to POLITICO.
''Congressman Clyburn had a very long conversation with President Biden on Wednesday. The substance of that call will remain private,' his spokesperson said.
Clyburn is credited with helping Biden turn around his 2020 campaign after it got off to a rocky start losing several primaries and causes.
Then the South Carolinian gathered his supporters around Biden, he won his first state and went on to secure the nomination after the tectonic momentum shift.
Earlier in the day, Clyburn mentioned on CNN how he had not been contacted by the president.
Exclusive:The staggering number of voters who now say Biden MUST have dementia - as the Daily Mail's bombshell poll shows just how far Trump is now ahead
From Rob Crilly, Chief U.S. Political Correspondent
A majority of voters believes that President Joe Biden's disastrous debate performance last week was not caused by a cold or too much preparation but by dementia.
That is the damning finding of an exclusive poll for DailyMail.com.
Only 10 percent of respondents said they believed a cold was to blame, rejecting the official White House explanation for why the president struggled to answer questions or hold his train of thought during a 90-minute showdown with Donald Trump.
At the same time, it reveals that Trump, 78, has extended his lead over 81-year-old Biden to six points, deepening the crisis facing the president's reelection campaign.
The White House has already had to fend off questions about whether the president is 'disabled' in a sign of how Biden's health moved to the center of the contest this week.
Jeff Zients tells White House staff to hold heads high and stick together
Emily Goodin, senior U.S. political reporter at the White House
White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients began his all-hands-on-deck call with White House staff by telling them: ‘July 4th is one of my favorite holidays.’
He acknowledged President Joe Biden didn’t have a great debate performance last week but told staff that he’s a ‘great president’ and urged them to ‘stay together.’
‘He didn't have a great night but that was one night and what we all know is he is a great president,’ Zients said per reports.
He made three key points: keep your head down and keep working for the American people while the campaign handles the election; hold your head high as the administration has accomplished so much; and stick together.
'Execute, execute, execute,' he told them repeatedly while urging them to ignore outside noise.
The call lasted about 10 minutes. Zients didn't take questions but said concerned staff should email him. He repeated Biden's quote that when you get knocked down, you get back up.
'That's what he is doing and that's what we all need to do ... follow the president's lead,' he said.
Biden buzzes Schumer following car crash debate
President Joe Biden had a call Wednesday morning with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, the highest-ranking Democrat in Congress.

He also spoke with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, the top Democrat in the House, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Jim Clyburn and Delaware Sen. Chris Coons, a longtime political ally from his home state, the White House confirmed.
The New York Times reported Wednesday that Biden told a key ally he is mulling over whether he should drop out of the race - a report the White House denied.
Biden will host a Fourth of July gathering at the White House Thursday before hitting the campaign trail again.
He'll travel to Wisconsin Friday and Pennsylvania Sunday - events he knows have to go well, according to the Times' reporting.
Obama is concerned about Biden's reelection chances
Former President Barack Obama is privately concerned about Joe Biden's reelection chances as Democrats pile on to get him to step down.
The Washington Post reported Tuesday that Obama told allies that Biden has a more difficult path to winning in November.
That's due to his disastrous debate performance last Thursday, sparking concerns about his age and ability to lead.
Publicly, Obama is standing firmly with his friend Joe.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have lunch amid calls for president to step aside
By Katelyn Caralle, Senior U.S. Political Reporter
Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are having lunch together in the midst of a massive call for the president to step aside after this debate performance.
The two oftentimes have lunch together and it is frequently part of the president's official schedule for the day.
Some float that Harris could replace Biden on the 2024 ticket, but polls show that she polls even worse than the President in a match-up against Donald Trump in November.
The lunch comes as the vice president tweaks her schedule to remain cozy with her boss after the debate debacle.
PredictIt swing towards Kamala is even bigger now - she's way clear of Biden to get Democratic nomination
Prediction markets are now solidly favoring Kamala Harris to get the Democratic nomination in 2024.
The site PredictIt shows Harris has surged to become the favorite over the last few days, rising from 37 percent odds to be the nominee to now 49 percent.

First elected Democrat to stab Biden in the back says there was 'NO discouragement' from party leadership before he demanded president DROP OUT
The first sitting Democrat to call for Joe Biden to withdraw from the election says that before going public, party leadership did not try to keep him quiet.
Texas Democrat Rep. Lloyd Doggett, 77, came forward on Tuesday with a statement calling on Joe Biden to withdraw from the presidential race, saying if he did not Donald Trump would win the White House.
Breaking his silence after turning on the top Democrat, the Texan - who has served since 1995 - told NPR that leadership within the party did not dissuade him from airing out his concerns publicly.
'I'm not a vulnerable member in this election,' Doggett said. 'So I'm able to step forward and speak out about what I think is so critical for our country in ways that perhaps some other people have not.'
'But I certainly have not gotten any discouragement from within the leadership of the party,' he added, indicating that top Democrats may actually condone ousting Biden.
Breaking: Joe Biden told key ally he is considering if he should drop out
By Katelyn Caralle, Senior U.S. Political Reporter
President Joe Biden told a close ally that he doesn't think he can salvage his campaign after his train wreck debate with Donald Trump last week.
It is the first real sign that the president is considering dropping out of the race amid calls for a new candidate.
The deciding factor, a key ally told The New York Times, could be Biden's campaign stops in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin this weekend. They said of the president's thinking:
He knows if he has two more events like that, we’re in a different place.
Another report states the Biden ally said it's 'only a matter of time' until he drops out.
But Biden's Deputy spokesperson Andrew Bates insisted in a post on X moments after the article went live that the reporting is 'absolutely false.' He complained the NYT only gave the team seven minutes to reply to a request for comment.
Inside growing turmoil as Biden team struggles to calm post-debate storm
Emily Goodin, senior U.S. political reporter
The White House is struggling to calm the storm of outrage from Joe Biden's debate performance as Democratic lawmakers call for the president to exit the race and the White House staff are 'freaking the f*** out.'
White House chief of staff Jeff Zients is scheduled to hold an all-hands-on-deck staff call at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday to pump up disillusioned staff and reassure them that Biden will remain the nominee.
The president has been on the phone to lawmakers trying to shore up his support on Capitol Hill amid worries Republicans will take control of the House and Senate - along with the White House - in the upcoming elections, giving them unchecked power to run the country.
Biden also will meet with governors on Wednesday evening as he and his team scramble to stem even more defections.
Meanwhile, Jill Biden has been dispatched to the battleground states of Pennsylvania and Michigan to tout Biden's accomplishments in the White House as polls show him trailing Donald Trump.
Group of business executives is latest to demand Biden step aside
By Katelyn Caralle, Senior U.S. Political Reporter
Now a group of business leaders are calling for Joe Biden to step down for a replacement Democratic nominee.
Leadership Now Project is the latest entity expressing it wants to see a different candidate on the ticket in 2024 other than the incumbent president after his disastrous debate performance.
The group wrote in a statement responding to the debate:
We have heard from many individuals who share our deep concerns about the present course but fear speaking out.
Biden campaign seeks to calm its staff's fears
President Joe Biden's campaign sent out an all-staff memo showing internal polls from battleground states that note Biden only dropped half a point in the fallout from his debate performance.
The memo acknowledges fears that Biden will see a substantial drop in the polls after his fumbling in the debate.
'We are going to see a few polls come out today and we want you all to hear from us on what we know internally and what we expect to come externally,' the memo, obtained by Politico, reads.
'Polls are a snapshot in time and we should all expect them to continue to fluctuate — it will take a few weeks, not a few days, to get a full picture of the race.'
The Five Thirty Eight polling average has Donald Trump leading Biden nationally by two points. The former president also leads in many of the swing states that will decide the election.
How dropping Biden from Democratic ticket could cost his replacement millions - with one exception
Biden has thus far rejected the pressure, insisting he could still beat Trump come November, but should the 81-year-old change course and bow out of the race, there are a series of hurdles other Democratic candidates could face.
One of the biggest challenges: how to raise a massive sum of cash to take on Trump in a short amount of time. Biden's massive campaign war chest would not necessarily flow to a replacement for the president at the top of the ticket.
And that is a considerable amount of money they could be leaving on the table.
Biden to award Medal of Honor to two Union soldiers
Emily Goodin, senior U.S. political reporter
President Joe Biden on Wednesday will award the Medal of Honor to two Union soldiers who stole a train deep in Confederate territory during the Civil War in what is known as Great Locomotive Chase.
U.S. Army Pvts. Philip G. Shadrach and George D. Wilson were part of a group of soldiers who hijacked a train named The General, drive it north for 87 miles, destroying railroad tracks and telegraph lines along the way.
They were captured by Confederates and executed by hanging. Six of the participants became the Army´s first recipients of the then-newly created Medal of Honor. Over the next two decades, another 13 members were recognized for their role in mission but Shadrach and Wilson were not honored until now.
Their posthumous recognition comes as the legacy of the Civil War still shapes American politics in a contentious election year where race, constitutional rights and presidential power are a major issue.

Biden faces mutiny as 25 Democrats prepare to call for president to step aside
At least 25 Democrat members of Congress are set to call on Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race in the coming days, while a pair of Senators have distanced themselves from the ailing president.
