Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) secretly met with Joe Biden at his Delaware beach house and urged him to drop out of the 2024 race shortly before Trump was shot in the ear by would-be assassin Thomas Crooks on July 13.
Schumer traveled to Joe Biden’s Rehoboth Beach house on July 13 to bully him into dropping out of the 2024 race.
“When Mr. Schumer arrived at Mr. Biden’s beach house that summer day, he could hear the president shouting,” The New York Times reported.
According to the New York Times, after meeting with other top Democrats days earlier in the week, Schumer met with Biden as Trump would-be assassin Thomas Crooks was climbing a roof and positioning himself to take a kill shot at Trump at a Butler, Pennsylvania, rally.
Schumer told Joe Biden that top Democrats in the House and Senate had lost faith in him and warned if he lost to Trump, Democrats would lose the Senate and wouldn’t take back the House.
“If you run and you lose to Trump, and we lose the Senate, and we don’t get back the House, that 50 years of amazing, beautiful work goes out the window,” Schumer said, according to The Times. “But worse — you go down in American history as one of the darkest figures.”
“If I were you,” Mr. Schumer said to Biden around 5 o’clock in the evening on July 13, “I wouldn’t run, and I’m urging you not to run.”
