In a letter to members of his caucus Friday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said he “requested and was graciously granted a private meeting with President Joe Biden.” In the Thursday evening meeting — held the same day as Biden’s high-stakes news conference at NATO — Jeffries says he “directly expressed the full breadth of insight, heartfelt perspectives and conclusions about the path forward that the Caucus has shared in our recent time together.” House Democrats met behind closed doors Tuesday in what was described as a candid and somber meeting where all opinions were expressed.
