President Biden is reportedly meeting with Democratic Party leaders in the aftermath of his disastrous first debate appearance.
Dougie Kass, fund manager of Seabreeze Capital Partners LP and a Democratic National Committee insider, said a meeting is being arranged between the president and two Democratic heavyweights.

Kass added, "Interestingly, my neighbor in East Hampton is hosting the Bidens tomorrow. It will be an important tell if the fundraiser is canceled."

During an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, Trump was asked if he believes Biden will be the Democratic nominee.
"Yes, I think he will be the nominee," Trump said.
