Ahead of a full caucus meeting on July 9, a small group of House Democrats in swing districts had a gathering where some shed “actual tears” when discussing their opposition to Biden continuing with his reelection campaign, according to a July 9 Axios report.
The group was reportedly in near-complete agreement that Biden should step down. However, those holding that opinion in the Democrat Party are a part of “a rapidly disintegrating movement,” according to Axios.
Axios reported that one source described the small gathering’s “mood as ‘pretty much unanimous’ that Biden has ‘got to step down,’ adding, ‘There were actual tears from people, and not for Biden.’”
As CatholicVote reported on July 8, prominent Democratic figures have expressed concern over Biden’s mental fitness and health after his widely-panned performance in the June 27 debate against former President Donald Trump.
On July 8, Biden penned a letter to fellow Democrats urging them to unite in support of him, and he expressly stated that he intends to stay in the race.

The letter was “a preemptive effort to try to discourage any questions” about Biden withdrawing, Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-TX, told Axios.
One source told Axios that the attitude in the full meeting indicated that calls for Biden to withdraw are coming to an end.
Axios reported on July 9 that “[g]oing in and out of the [full] meeting, several House Democrats who have previously raised concerns about Biden said they are now with him: ‘Whether or not I have concerns is besides the point. He is going to be our nominee, and we all have to support him,’ said Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.).”
Rep. Jared Huffman, D-CA, who had previously been vocal in his concerns about Biden continuing in the campaign, told Axios: “I think there is a pretty strong consensus we need to close ranks.”
