Schumer Warns Biden on 2024
Dem Majority Leader Says Biden's Court Plan Could Hurt
Schumer Presents Polling Data in Rehoboth Beach Meeting
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has presented President Joe Biden with polling data that suggests his plan to overhaul the Supreme Court could hurt Democrats in the 2024 election.
Schumer met with Biden at his home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, on Saturday. The meeting was described as "blunt" and "candid."
Schumer, who is known for his loyalty to Biden, is said to have told the president that the court plan is unpopular with voters and could cost Democrats seats in the Senate and the House of Representatives.
Biden has proposed expanding the Supreme Court from nine to 13 justices. He has also said he is open to other reforms, such as term limits for justices.
Schumer's warning is a sign that Biden is facing increasing pressure from within his own party to abandon the court plan.
