Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer reportedly sat down with President Joe Biden over the weekend and delivered a blunt message: drop out of the race. According to ABC News correspondent Jonathan Karl, Schumer forcefully made the case that it would be best for Biden to bow out, following his poor performance in the recent debate against former President Donald Trump.
The meeting reportedly took place at Biden’s home in Rehoboth, Delaware, and was described by Schumer as a “good meeting.” However, Schumer’s office declined to comment on the specifics of the discussion when approached by Fox News Digital.

It seems that Schumer’s concerns are not unfounded. Multiple Democratic leaders have joined the chorus, calling on Biden to step aside in light of his lackluster debate performance. As the presumed frontrunner for the Democratic Party, Biden’s stumble against Trump raises concerns about his ability to lead the party to victory in the upcoming election.
While it’s unclear what Biden’s response was to Schumer’s suggestion, it appears that there is a growing sentiment within the party that it may be time for Biden to exit the race. As the Democrats continue to search for a candidate who can take on Trump and secure a win, Biden’s prospects may be dwindling.
In the end, it’s no surprise that Schumer and other Democratic leaders are growing anxious. With Biden faltering on the debate stage, the party’s hopes of reclaiming the White House are quickly slipping away. The question now is whether Biden will heed Schumer’s advice and make way for a stronger contender, or if he will forge ahead and hope to turn the tide in his favor. Only time will tell. And in the meantime, conservatives can sit back and enjoy the show.
