Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (R-NY) led efforts to stall attempts at accelerating President Joe Biden’s nomination.

Schumer and Jeffries have been publicly supportive of Biden’s candidacy since his shaky debate performance last month, but people familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal that their behavior behind the scenes suggests otherwise. The two led efforts to delay attempts to accelerate Biden’s nomination, signaling their hesitance to back Biden fully as the Democratic presidential nominee.
