President Joe Biden is in a meeting in the Hamptons with the co-chair of his campaign as some Democrats are calling for him to drop out of the race, CNN reported Saturday.
Biden has been the subject of numerous calls to withdraw from the race, including in media Editorial Board pieces by Raw Story, the New York Times, and other news outlets. The new push to get Biden out of the race stems from a disappointing, halted debate performance on Thursday night.
Over the weekend, CNN reported that Biden is having a "campaign meeting with his campaign co-chair in the Hamptons, amid a growing chorus from concerned Democrats for Biden to end his reelection bid against former president Donald Trump following a disastrous debate on CNN Thursday night."

CNN's Arlette Saenz reported that "Biden is currently in the Hamptons for a fundraising swing."
She added that he "is trying to ensure that he can continue to bring in the money for his campaign at a time when many Democratic donors have expressed a lot of angst following his debate performance."
"Now the president is accompanied today; the reporters traveling with him said that they saw Jeffrey Katzenberg, his campaign co-chair, who is also a longtime Hollywood producer with a lot of networking and contacts within that Hollywood circuit who has helped Biden raise money for other events, including that L.A. fundraiser with Obama, just a few weeks ago."
She then, however, added that there is a bright spot for Biden.
"But the Biden campaign today is also touting the fact that they raised 27 million over the over the past two days, that was on Thursday and Friday, a bright spot that they're trying to point to after the president's performance in the debate."
