Democratic governors, including Oregon Governor Tina Kotek, were scheduled to meet with President Joe Biden following doubts about his chances of winning re-election. Kotek’s spokesperson confirmed her virtual participation in the meeting, where over 20 other governors were expected to attend. More prominent governors like Gavin Newsom of California and Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan were set to be there in person.
This meeting follows Biden’s widely criticized debate performance, which raised questions about his age and ability to lead. Some Democrats are openly discussing the possibility of him dropping out of the race, though no governors have called for this action. Despite the scrutiny, Biden has not suggested he would step down from the presidential race.
Kotek, who received support from Biden during her gubernatorial campaign, has remained silent on the issue. Other governors attending the meeting have expressed their support for Biden continuing his campaign. The meeting is expected to address various issues concerning the Democratic Party as they look towards the upcoming elections.
The meeting is crucial for Biden as he strives to regain support following his debate performance, which has cast doubt on his re-election prospects. Despite facing criticism and calls for resignation, Biden remains focused on his bid for re-election with the support of other Democratic governors.
