House Democrats had a crucial closed-door meeting on Tuesday at their national party headquarters in Washington, D.C., as members debated whether to continue supporting President Joe Biden's reelection campaign or not.

It is the first time all the members gathered since Biden's catastrophic debate with former President Donald Trump last month caused a full-blown campaign crisis. During the meeting, lawmakers were allowed to use their phones.

Democrats became alarmed by the incumbent's weak, raspy performance in the debate, leading some influential fundraisers, commentators, and supporters to publicly call on Biden, 81, to drop his pursuit for an additional four years in office.
