Trio of Senate Democrats doubt Biden can win

Three Democratic senators, including two of the chamber's most vulnerable, told their colleagues Tuesday that they don't think President Biden can win re-election in November, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: Their concerns, voiced behind closed doors, are a clear indication that Biden still has more work to do to convince lawmakers that he should be the Democratic nominee.

Sens. Jon Tester (D-Mont.), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) told their colleagues during a closed-door caucus meeting that they doubt Biden's ability to beat former President Trump, a source familiar with the session told Axios.

Tester and Brown are waging two of the most competitive re-election campaigns in the country, trying to hold on to Democratic seats in states that Trump easily carried in 2020.
