House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) says he met with President Joe Biden to discuss the “path forward” amid growing calls for him to end his re-election bid.

In a letter to House Democrats on Friday, Jeffries wrote, “Over the past several days, House Democrats have engaged in a thoughtful and extensive discussion about the future of our country, during a time when freedom, democracy and the economic well-being of everyday Americans are on the line. Our discourse has been candid, clear-eyed and comprehensive.”

“On behalf of the House Democratic Caucus, I requested and was graciously granted a private meeting with President Biden. That meeting occurred yesterday evening,” the letter continued. “In my conversation with President Biden, I directly expressed the full breadth of insight, heartfelt perspectives and conclusions about the path forward that the Caucus has shared in our recent time together.”

The letter comes a day after Biden held a major press conference at the end of the NATO summit that was seen as a chance to reassure nervous Democrats about his candidacy.

Speaking to reporters, Biden signaled he is not planning on dropping out of the race, saying, “I’m not in this for my legacy. I’m in this to complete the job that I started.”

“If I slow down and can’t get the job done, that’s a sign I shouldn’t be doing it, but there’s no indication of that yet, none,” he added.
