The Epoch Times Header

President Joe Biden in a campaign message on Wednesday said he is โ€˜in this race to the end.โ€™

WASHINGTONโ€”Governors who met with President Joe Biden at the White House on Wednesday expressed their support for him after their discussions about Democratic Party leadership.

โ€œThe governors have his back,โ€ Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who chairs the Democratic Governors Association, told reporters at the White House after the meeting.

โ€œA path to victory in November is the number one priority, and thatโ€™s the number one priority of the president,โ€ he said, adding that the conversation with President Biden was โ€œhonest.โ€

Some governors attended the meeting in person, while others participated virtually. Among those traveled to the White House were Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

Vice President Kamala Harris was also in attendance.

The meeting occurred after a number of Democrat lawmakers, media organizations, and pundits called on President Biden to drop out of the 2024 presidential election following his debate with former President Donald Trump last week.

Mr. Newsom and Ms. Whitmer, who are frequently mentioned in media reports as potential successors to President Biden, expressed their support for the president.

โ€œI heard three words from the President tonightโ€”heโ€™s all in. And so am I. @JoeBidenโ€™s had our back. Now itโ€™s time to have his,โ€ Mr. Newsom wrote on X after the meeting.

โ€œ@JoeBiden is our nominee. He is in it to win it and I support him,โ€ Ms. Whitmer stated.

Meanwhile, President Biden in a campaign email to supporters on Wednesday made it clear that he intends to stay in the 2024 race.

The emailed message echoed what the president reportedly told his campaign staff during an internal call the same day.

โ€œSo, let me say this as clearly and simply as I can: Iโ€™m running,โ€ President Biden wrote in the email.

โ€œIโ€™m the Democratic Partyโ€™s nominee. No one is pushing me out. Iโ€™m not leaving, Iโ€™m in this race to the end, and WE are going to win this election.โ€
