President Joe Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer
Sen. Chuck Schumer reportedly urged Biden to drop out last Saturday. His office isn't denying it.
  • Top Democrats have reportedly told Biden he could drag down the party's prospects if he stays.
  • It appears to be the beginning of a more public campaign to push Biden to withdraw.
  • Democrats had already tried doing this gently. Now, they appear to be getting impatient.

As several news outlets reported on Wednesday evening, top Democrats have directly told President Joe Biden that he will drag the rest of the party down with him if he does not withdraw from the race.
