"Biden met for more than an hour at the White House in person and virtually with more than 20 governors from his party.

The governors told reporters afterward that the conversation was "candid" and said they expressed concerns about Biden's debate performance last week.

They reiterated that defeating Donald Trump in November was the priority, but said they were still standing behind Biden and did not join other Democrats who have been urging him to withdraw his candidacy."

"Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer also threw her support behind Biden. "He is in it to win it and I support him," she said on Twitter/X after the meeting.

Whitmer is one of several Democratic governors who have been cited as possible replacements if Biden were to withdraw his candidacy.

Gavin Newsom, whose name has also been floated, flew in for the governors' meeting on Wednesday, saying afterwards:

"I heard three words from the president tonight " he's all in. And so am I."

Joe Biden Pours Cold Water on Wave of Calls to Step Down

President Joe Biden on Wednesday evening reassured his supporters that he is remaining in the 2024 presidential race.

"Let me say this as clearly as I possibly can"as simply and straightforward as I can: I am running ... no one's pushing me out," Biden said, according to a report from Politico.

"I'm not leaving. I'm in this race to the end and we're going to win."

Vice President Kamala Harris, who according to polling is likely the top choice to replace Biden if he were to step aside, was also on the DNC call Wednesday, and said while sitting beside the president, "We will not back down. We will follow our president's lead. We will fight, and we will win."
