Biden Campaign Advisors to Address Senate Democrats Amid Reelection Concerns

Senior advisers to President Joe Biden will brief Senate Democrats to address growing concerns within the party about his reelection campaign. Advisors Mike Donilon, Steve Ricchetti, and campaign chair Jen O'Malley Dillon aim to reassure Democrats following a contentious debate with Donald Trump.

Three senior political advisers to President Joe Biden will brief U.S. Senate Democrats on Thursday, the Biden campaign said, as a growing number within the party question whether Biden should continue his reelection campaign.

Senior advisers Mike Donilon and Steve Ricchetti, as well as Biden campaign chair Jen O'Malley Dillon, will meet with Senate Democrats at a caucus lunch, the campaign said in a statement on Wednesday. Biden is trying to reassure Democrats about his chances in the Nov. 5 election after a halting debate performance against Republican Donald Trump raised fresh questions about his ability to win and, if he does, to continue the grueling job for another four years.

Eight House Democrats have called for Biden to end his candidacy. No Senate Democrat has yet done so, though a few have raised doubts about Biden's reelection prospects.
