Democratic governors seek meeting with White House after poor debate performance
The concern from some of the nation’s Democratic governors were aired on a call Monday organized by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, one of the sources said. The call was attended by governors only.
On the call, the governors expressed surprise that none of them had heard from Biden himself. There was a strong sentiment on the call that they needed to hear from the president directly.
There was also some discussion of having Vice President Kamala Harris address them.
The governors, one of the sources said, were worried about going public with their concerns out of fear that it would lead to Biden digging in further. Plans for the meeting at the White House are underway but it has not been scheduled.
The governors' concerns about politics and communication with the White House were evident during the call. Efforts were made to arrange a meeting with Vice President Harris to address these issues.
