Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer told Biden it would be best if he DROPPED OUT of the 2024 election
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer visited President Joe Biden at his Rehoboth Beach home over the weekend and urged him to drop his presidential candidacy, multiple sources said.
The hosts of the Ruthless Podcast said during a taping of the Republican National Convention on Tuesday that Schumer drove to Biden’s home in Delaware and told the president to back off.
ABC News’ Jonathan Karl reported a similar story Wednesday night, calling it “a blunt one-on-one conversation” and saying the top Democrat in the Senate “argued forcefully that it would be best if Biden withdrew from the race.”
But Schumer’s office continues to cast doubt on whether the conversation actually happened.
“Unless ABC’s source is Senator Chuck Schumer or President Joe Biden, the reporting is idle speculation. Leader Schumer conveyed his caucus’s views directly to President Biden on Saturday,” a spokesperson told DailyMail.com on Wednesday night.

The Schumer reports come hot on the heels of a call by Rep. Adam Schiff, who is running for a U.S. Senate seat in November, for the 81-year-old president to step down.
Since his disastrous debate performance late last month, Biden has stood his ground and insisted he will stay in the race.
