President Biden's meeting with members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus on Friday didn't go as planned, with one lawmaker even urging him to drop his re-election bid, according to two sources briefed on the matter.
Why it matters: It's a rare instance of a lawmaker actually telling the president in a direct encounter that he should exit the 2024 presidential race.
One lawmaker who was told about the meeting described it as going "haywire." The latest: Biden was an hour late to the Zoom meeting with Hispanic Caucus members on Friday, which was held through the group's political arm, BOLD PAC, the sources said.
After Reps. Lou Correa (D-Calif.) and Linda Sanchez (D-Calif.) asked Biden questions, which one source described as "pre-selected," Sanchez, the BOLD PAC chair, tried to "lightly" end the meeting, the source said. But Biden offered to take more questions and Sanchez called on Rep. Mike Levin (D-Calif.). He told Biden it is time for somebody else to lead the party, according to both sources. Levin later put out a statement making that position public. Zoom in: In response to Levin's comment, Biden said, "That's why I'm going out and letting people touch me, poke me, ask me questions. I think I know what I'm doing," according to a source familiar with the call.
Biden said his age is a "legitimate concern for people," but "that's why I think it's important I gotta get out and show people everything from how well I move to how much I know and that I'm still in good charge."

“...still in good charge.”
O... K...
Um um um......I can hear the Lincoln Memorial being torn down now,
as Jill makes plans for the “Biden Memorial” to extol Joe’s “superior debating skills.”
They needed a fixer to come in, smooth things over and calm everyone.
I swear, I would have had him wear a sombrero and come in with a shot of tequila.
Never mind, read the headline wrong. Time to hang it up, and it’s not even 0900 yet.
Congrats! They got to speak with a poorly animated meat puppet.
“Why it matters: It’s a rare instance of a lawmaker actually telling the president in a direct encounter that he should exit the 2024 presidential race.”
First, any hispanic democrat is a self loathing POS.
Second, Mike Levin is going to get pushed into a van soon.
I don’t like the way this is always couched in terms of his age. His age is not the problem and his cognitive problems are not the result of a normal aging process. The problem is that Biden has a disease resulting in cognitive problems.
Jill’s hit list is expanding by the day.
Democrats subverting democracy
When he showed up for the call, they should have introduced him as “President Putin”.
Not sure why Joe just doesn’t go back to the bunker for a few dozen “lid days”.
Wait - didn’t he just say he had a team to help him be President? He is more like Captain Pike every single day.
Good charge??
He thinks he’s the energizer bunny with a good charge. However, the batteries are past their Use By Date and are basically dead and he thinks he has a good charge.
Always about his age. Never about the policies that have destroyed a good portion of America.
Biden has a consistent habit of showing up late.
He showed up late to the debate.
He showed up late to King Charles Coronation in England.
He showed up late to this weeks meeting with fellow Dems.
I'm certain that was the filtered, polite translation.
