<p>Kentucky Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear acknowledged on Tuesday night that President Joe Biden&#8217;s debate performance would &#8220;hurt the campaign&#8221; and that Democratic governors around the country &#8220;want a direct and candid conversation with the president.&#8221;</p>
<p>Beshear made the comments on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;The Situation Room&#8221; as some Democrats question Biden&#8217;s ability to run a successful re-election campaign against former President Donald Trump. A group of Democratic governors <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dem-govs-held-private-meeting-over-concerns-about-biden-request-convo-with-president" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> held a private call on Monday to discuss meeting with Biden. The call was organized by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, the chairman of the Democratic Governors’ Association, CNN anchor Jake Tapper <a href="https://x.com/jaketapper/status/1808155853431705800?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1808155853431705800%7Ctwgr%5Efa8a91721001ea672c3ec7933ca1d131ca663ef1%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailywire.com%2Fnews%2Fdem-govs-held-private-meeting-over-concerns-about-biden-request-convo-with-president" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. On Tuesday afternoon, Tapper deleted three social media posts that described more details about the meeting.</p>
<p>“I think we’ve all got to be upfront and honest that what we saw in the debate – it was rough,” Beshear <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/07/02/us-news/kentucky-gov-andy-beshear-on-bidens-upcoming-meeting-with-democratic-governors-we-want-to-make-sure-hes-doing-ok/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, “It [was] a rough night, and regardless of polls that you see, it’s going to hurt the campaign.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to Tapper, a meeting between the governors and the White House will &#8220;in all likelihood&#8221; be held on Wednesday. The meeting between Democratic governors and President Biden will include California Governor Gavin Newsom, who has been floated as one of Biden&#8217;s potential replacements on the Democratic ticket. Newsom will travel to the White House to attend the meeting in person, a Newsom spokesman said on Tuesday, according to <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/02/gavin-newsom-stand-with-biden-00166404" target="_blank" rel="noopener">POLITICO</a>.</p>
<p>“I think the governors just want a direct and candid conversation with the president. We want to make sure he’s doing okay,&#8221; Beshear continued. “We all know him. He has formed a personal relationship with us, and he says he is [OK], and we take him at his word, but it’s always good to see somebody in person.”</p>
<p>While Beshear encouraged Biden to be open about his health and fitness, he said that any decision on the future of his campaign &#8220;ultimately&#8221; falls &#8220;to him and his family.&#8221;</p>
<p>Illinois Democratic Governor J.B. Pritzker also said on CNN on Tuesday night that he is still &#8220;100% on board with supporting [Biden] unless he makes some other decision.&#8221; Pritzker was asked by CNN&#8217;s Kaitlan Collins if he thinks there&#8217;s a chance &#8220;that we are in a situation where you&#8217;re discussing who a new Democratic nominee would be.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know. You&#8217;d have to ask that to Joe Biden,&#8221; Pritzker responded, adding, &#8220;Because he&#8217;s the nominee of the party unless he says otherwise.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Pritzker: “Right now, Joe Biden is our nominee &amp; I&#8217;m 100% on board with supporting him, unless he makes some other decision &amp; then I think we&#8217;re all going to be discussing what&#8217;s the best way forward&#8230;Joe Biden will do what&#8217;s best for the Democratic party &amp; winning in 2024.” <a href="https://t.co/ecNROJk6sE">pic.twitter.com/ecNROJk6sE</a></p>
<p>— Kaitlan Collins (@kaitlancollins) <a href="https://twitter.com/kaitlancollins/status/1808318122337693722?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 3, 2024</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) was the first Democrat in Congress to call on Biden to step down, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lawmaker-becomes-first-democrat-to-publicly-call-on-biden-to-step-down-after-debate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying</a> on Tuesday that Biden &#8220;has the opportunity to encourage a new generation of leaders from whom a nominee can be chosen to unite our country through an open, democratic process.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I am hopeful that he will make the painful and difficult decision to withdraw,&#8221; Doggett added. &#8220;I respectfully call on him to do so.”</p>
<p>Maine Rep. Jared Golden, another Democrat, also discussed Biden&#8217;s re-election chances, <a href="https://www.bangordailynews.com/2024/07/02/opinion/opinion-contributor/jared-golden-donald-trump-going-to-win-election-democracy-be-just-fine/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">writing</a> in an op-ed on Tuesday that &#8220;Biden’s poor performance in the debate was not a surprise.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It also didn’t rattle me as it has others, because the outcome of this election has been clear to me for months: While I don’t plan to vote for him, Donald Trump is going to win. And I’m OK with that,&#8221; Golden added.</p>
