On July 18th, according to multiple reports, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Schumer and House Minority Leader Jeffries warned President Biden that Biden's continued candidacy would jeopardize the Democratic Party's victory in the November election. ABC News reported late Wednesday local time that Schumer said at a meeting in Delaware on Saturday that if Biden dropped out of the race, it would be the best option, and Jeffries also expressed a similar view in a one-on-one meeting at the White House last Thursday night. The Washington Post quoted four people familiar with the matter as saying that both Schumer and Jeffries warned Biden that he would reduce their chances of controlling both houses of Congress. CNN reporter MJ Lee quoted sources as saying that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi privately told Biden in a recent conversation that polls showed he couldn't beat Trump.
