Schumer Told Biden It Would Be Best to End Candidacy, ABC News Reports

‘Better for the Democratic Party’

TRANSCRIPT:

KARL: "And I am told that the pressure from Democratic leaders for Biden to get out of the race is intensifying. In fact, one person who has been out there publicly defending Biden told me just a short while ago, 'Biden is going to see the whole house of cards come down soon.' As for that meeting in Rehoboth, Delaware, I am told that this was a one-on-one meeting, just the Senate leader and the president, and that Chuck Schumer forcefully made the case that it would be better for Biden, better for the Democratic Party, and better for the country if he were to bow out of the race. And David, when I went to Schumer's office to ask them about — to tell them I was gonna report this and tell you this tonight, absolutely no denial from Senator Schumer's office. They only said this: 'Leader Schumer conveyed the views of his caucus.' In other words, the views of Democratic senators. I am also told that Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic leader in the House, has expressed similar views directly to the president."
