US

Daniella Diaz at Politico reporting that the House of Representatives Democratic Party conference will meet tomorrow at 09:00 ET 14:00 BST for a full members meeting at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee headquarters in Washington, D.C.

  • The meeting is certain to discuss strategy for President Biden's re-election bid following a defiant interview withMSNBCthis morning where Biden doubled down on his intention to run for re-election.
  • Pollster Larry Sabato at the University of Virginia noted today, after Biden circulated along letter to Democrat lawmakers pledging to stay in the race: "Like it or not, that's the end of that. Biden-Harris it is for Dems. Legally, Biden has the high ground--he has to agree to step aside and he is clearly not going to do so.
  • Sabato added: "Today's question: Will Dem officeholders, donors, rank-and-file reunify quickly, or will they do what they did, more or less, in 1968, 1980, 2000, and 2016 (among other years)? (Hint: Dems lost in all 4 of those years.)"
