Rep. Ritchie Torres speaking at an event
Rep. Ritchie Torres seemed to change his public stance on Wednesday, urging Democrats to look at the "cold hard numbers."
  • Rep. Ritchie Torres once chided Biden doubters but said Wednesday that Dems must assess "hard numbers."
  • Sen. Richard Blumenthal supports Biden but said that he's "deeply concerned" about the election.
  • The statements came after new polling indicated Dems were losing ground in key swing states.

On Monday, Rep. Ritchie Torres of New York chided his fellow Democrats for the "drip, drip, drip of public statements of no confidence" about President Joe Biden. On Wednesday, he added to that drip himself, though did not explicitly call on the president to bow out of the race.
