In a meeting that ran for roughly two hours, the debate was lopsided in favor of keeping the president on the ticket — a dynamic suggesting that Biden has, at least for now, prevented the slow seep of individual detractors from becoming a flood.

“I feel we’ve hit a turning point,” Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.), who is backing Biden, said after the meeting. “As the president said, I think yesterday, it’s been 10, 11 days or so since the debate and it’s time to move on. And I think that’s where many more members are today than they were last week.”

“We’re ridin’ with Biden,” said Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.), a prominent voice in the Congressional Black Caucus, which has rallied aggressively behind Biden since the debate.

The voices of support for Biden suggested the tide is beginning to turn for the president, who has been resolute in insisting he will not be pushed out of the presidential race over heightened concerns over his age, health and ability to defeat former President Trump in November.

Among the most notable comments were those of veteran Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), who over the weekend on a private call with House party leaders expressed opposition to Biden being his party’s nominee, but who in public comments outside the meeting sang a different tune.

“Whether I have concerns or not is beside the point,” Nadler told reporters before the meeting. “He’s going to be our nominee and we all have to support him.”
