California Democrats are at the forefront as the party tries to decide whether to stick with Joe Biden as its presidential nominee.

The president remains steadfast in his determination to run, and today support seems to be shifting in his favor.

House and Senate Democrats met separately today and it’s clear from their comments afterward that there is no consensus yet. Some still want President Biden not to run again, and they’ve said so publicly, some are saying privately that they’d prefer Vice President Kamala Harris replace the president at the top of the ticket. But no new members of the House or Senate called for that today, while several reiterated their support for the president.

The leaders of the House Democratic caucus, Pete Aguilar and Ted Lieu, both from Southern California, made it very clear that right now, the party views President Biden as its nominee and the focus is on winning this election, defeating Donald Trump and making Hakeem Jeffries the next Speaker of the House. They did leave some wiggle room, repeating that “right now” Biden is their nominee, but that could change, and it appears that much will hinge on the president’s public performance at the NATO summit in Washington this week.
