The Facts

  • Several Democrats have told the New York Times and CNN that Pres. Joe Biden is "being receptive" and "willing to listen" to calls for him to step aside as he tested positive for COVID and retreated to his Delaware home to isolate Wednesday.

  • This comes after ABC News reported that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has "forcefully made the case" to Biden that it would be better "if he were to bow out."

  • House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) reportedly has had similar discussions with Biden, while former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi allegedly told Biden that if he continues his re-election bid, it would ruin the Democrats' chances of winning a majority in the House.
