House Democrats met Tuesday with consensus on their mind, but many members emerged from their weekly caucus ranging from shell-shocked and annoyed to stoically ignoring the big question — is the Democratic Party behind President Joe Biden as the nominee?
Following Biden’s lackluster debate performance combined with months of gaffes and mishaps, eyes turned to congressional Democrats on Capitol Hill this week to determine if the president’s political future is coming to an end, or if the party will support him as he faces a rematch against former President Donald Trump in November.
A mix of emotions and comments from various Democratic lawmakers Tuesday made one thing clear — no one is on the same page when it comes to supporting Biden as the nominee.
