The Biden family will reportedly have talks with President Joe Biden Sunday at Camp David over the future of the Democratic Party’s 2024 presidential ticket, according to sources who spoke to NBC News.

Democrats have been in disarray since the president’s Thursday debate performance, which triggered conversations about staging an intervention to replace Biden on the ballot ahead of November. Despite the Biden campaign’s insistence that the Democratic incumbent will move forward with his reelection bid, Biden is reportedly set to meet with First Lady Jill Biden, his children and his grandchildren to discuss this matter. The Biden family was expected to arrive late Saturday, NBC News reported.

“The only person who has ultimate influence with him is the first lady,” one source familiar with Biden told the outlet. “If she decides there should be a change of course, there will be a change of course.”

The Biden family’s rendezvous was scheduled before Thursday’s CNN debate, according to NBC News. The source emphasized that “any decision about the campaign is expected to be informal or an afterthought.”

“It’s a mess,” another source told NBC News.

One Biden official who spoke at the tarmac of McGuire Air Force Base Saturday refuted the “premise” of NBC’s report, calling the outlet’s story “not accurate,” according to Washington Post reporter Tyler Pager’s pool report. Officials said the president and his family are “taking a family photo at Camp David,” and one mentioned that “there is nothing more to” the trip that has been “on the schedule for weeks.”


The official Biden campaign account on social media also addressed the Biden family’s travels Saturday evening, stating that the trip was “announced a week ago.”


“Yeah, no. This was announced a week ago,” the Biden-Harris account wrote with a screenshot of a press release from June 23. “Joe Biden is and will be Democratic nominee.”

The Biden campaign reportedly held a conference call Saturday with members of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), and one Biden official assured “we’re driving this,” NBC News reported.

“Democrats need to take a big breath and look at that polling, look at swing voters,” one state Democratic Party chair told the outlet. “Until I see something differently, he’s the person that’s put this coalition together, he’s the person that has the record, he’s the person that beat Donald Trump. Until I see something differently, he’s still the best person to beat Donald Trump.”

Prominent Democrats like former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, former President Barack Obama and California Gov. Gavin Newsom have continued to publicly support Biden despite the internal and external turmoil that surrounds the president.

“We need to have as much discipline as emotion,” one senior Democratic official told NBC News. “It’s not politically smart for Biden to step down.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
