Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer told President Joe Biden in a private meeting it would be best to end his presidential bid, ABC News reported on Wednesday evening. Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has made similar statements "directly to the president,"

In terms of timing, apparently this meeting with Schumer happened shortly before the Trump rally shooting.
