Biden heaves a sigh of relief as Democratic governors say we 'have his back'
Democratic governors
Amid doubts swirling around US President Joe Biden continuing in the race to win the presidential election to be held later this year, Democratic governors offered their continued support to him following a meeting with him. Informing about the same, Maryland Governor Wes Moore said Wednesday, "We said that we would stand with him." The governors had gathered to discuss his recent disastrous debate performance.
Moore was at the White House along with 24 other Democratic governors, with Vice President Kamala Harris also present at the meeting. Only 10 of the 24 governors met Biden in person. Moore further told reporters that Biden was "fit for office".
Notably, the 81-year-old president has been facing backlash from different quarters with some even calling for him to drop out of the presidential race.
While 10 of them were there in the room with Biden and Harris, the scene after the meeting in the White House lawns looked a bit jagged as only three of the governors met with the reporters.
"The governors have his back, and we're working together just to make it very, very clear on that − a path to victory in November is the No. 1 priority, and that's the No. 1 priority for the president," said Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, chairman of the Democratic Governors Association.

New York Governor, Kathy Hochul, also said that they fully backed Biden for the presidential position.
"I'm here to tell you today: President Joe Biden is in it today to win, and all of us said we pledged our support to him because the stakes could not be higher," Hochul said. "We feel very confident in his abilities."
Gavin Newsom of California, who met Biden but did not speak to the reporters, later posted on X, "I heard three words from the President tonight - he’s all in. And so am I. Joe Biden's had our back. Now it’s time to have his."
Biden at the debate and his campaign's response
Bidne's debate performance had set panic among the Dems, with members of the Democratic Governors Association raising concerns about him and the campaign's response to it. Biden looked frazzled at the debate, unable to complete his thoughts and finish sentences.
The Biden campaign released a statement after the meeting, in which it said, "All participants reiterated their shared commitment to do everything possible to make sure President Biden and Vice President Harris beat Donald Trump in November."
