Collin Rugg had more details:
BREAKING: Democrat governors appear to be stepping in after Biden’s horrendous debate performance, held a secret call yesterday about Biden’s campaign according to CNN’s Jake Tapper.
ADVERTISEMENTAccording to sources who spoke with Tapper, the governors are expressing “concern” about Biden’s well-being.
“They know if they come forward publicly with concern that likely will cause Biden to dig in more. They were also surprised none of them had heard from him,” Tapper reported.
The group reportedly is trying to set up a meeting with the White House but they have not been able to get the White House to agree yet.
The development comes as Democrats, including Tapper, are finally beginning to call out Biden publicly.

BREAKING: President Biden will meet with Democratic governors amid concerns following his shaky debate performance. https://t.co/DWE1G1ixty

From CBS:
President Biden plans to hold a meeting with Democratic governors Wednesday, CBS News has learned, as the White House and his reelection campaign work to shore up support for him after last week’s shaky debate performance. Some will attend in person, while others will attend virtually.
ADVERTISEMENTThe meeting comes as the White House and Biden campaign work to keep Democratic governors and other elected Democrats in the fold after his rocky debate. Rep. Lloyd Doggett of Texas became the first Democratic lawmaker to call on Mr. Biden to drop out of the presidential race on Tuesday, a suggestion the campaign quickly dismissed.
The meeting with governors is notable because up until this point, it’s mostly been Mr. Biden’s top aides and advisers who have been reaching out to elected Democrats to reassure them after his debate performance. Members of the Democratic Governors’ Association held a call Monday to discuss the ongoing response to last week’s debate and a widespread concern among the state chief executives that Mr. Biden has done little outreach to governors, specifically over the course of the campaign year, according to two people familiar with arrangements for the call.
The Biden campaign had been trying to arrange time for Vice President Harris to speak with governors, but the governors decided Monday they wanted to hear directly from the president.
“They’d like to hear from him directly before going and sticking out their necks for him again,” said one of the people familiar with the plan, granted anonymity to speak frankly about them.
