President Biden is meeting with Democratic governors behind closed doors today as party leaders grow increasingly panicked about Biden’s dismal performance in last week’s presidential debate, where the president appeared halting, disjointed and frequently lost his train of thought. On Tuesday, Biden told donors at a campaign fundraiser in Virginia that he “almost fell asleep onstage” — something he blamed on exhaustion from international travel. His remarks came as The New York Times reported that aides and others who’ve encountered Biden behind closed doors notice that he has increasingly appeared confused or listless, or would lose the thread of conversations.

On Tuesday, California Congressmember and former Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi said both Biden and Trump should take mental fitness tests. And for the first time, a sitting Democratic member of Congress has called on Biden to step aside. Lloyd Doggett represents Texas’s 37th Congressional District in Austin. He spoke Tuesday evening with CNN’s Anderson Cooper.

Rep. Lloyd Doggett: “And I think we would be better off if we had a new candidate, who could present a new vision for our country. And we can do that if we have an open and fair democratic process over the next few weeks.”
