Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has reportedly organized a call with other Democratic governors around the country to talk about the Presidential race and concerns about the candidacy of President Joe Biden.
The story was first reported by CNN's Jake Tapper who says a call took place Monday. Tapper reports that on the call, Democrat governors expressed concern about what's going on with the president but that they know if they come forward publicly with concern, that likely will cause Biden to "dig in more". He also reports that governors were surprised that none of them had heard from Biden after the debate.
CBS News is reporting other Democrats in Congress have started to ask if Vice President Kamala Harris should be the candidate. They are also reporting that Biden plans to meet with Democratic governors on Wednesday.
WCCO Radio Political analyst Blois Olson says it's not surprising given what's happened since President Biden performed badly in last week's debate according to most observers. "
"Ultimately, they want some reassurances that the campaign isn't going to be a disaster that's going to cost the Democratic Party governor seats, congressional seats and just the mood and momentum of this election," says Olson.
Walz is the head of the Democratic Governor's Association, and he's also a surrogate for the Biden campaign.
