Mark Warner ended up calling off his Monday meeting to get top Democrats on board to confront Joe Biden about the 2024 presidential race.
The Virginia Democrat, and Senate Intelligence Committee chair, is not backing down on the part about wanting to confront Biden about the 2024 race.
Warner issued a statement on Monday afternoon doubling down on the need for “conversations about the strongest path forward.”
The full statement:
“Another Trump term would be perilous for rule of law and for our democracy. President Biden has made America stronger, guiding the nation through some of our most difficult days. I am proud of my work on his agenda.
“With so much at stake in the upcoming election, now is the time for conversations about the strongest path forward.
“As these conversations continue, I believe it is incumbent upon the President to more aggressively make his case to the American people, and to hear directly from a broader group of voices about how to best prevent Trump’s lawlessness from returning to the White House.”
