Biden damage control hasn't reached top Democrats on the Hill

While White House chief of staff Jeff Zients has been working on damage control after President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance, Biden has yet to speak personally with top Democratic leaders.

Five sources familiar with the situation told NBC News that Biden has not spoken with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) nor House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) since the presidential debate last week. Schumer and Jeffries have only been in conversations with Zients. Counselor to the president Steve Ricchetti has also been in phone calls with members of Congress.
