Coons: Dems backing Biden ‘angry and hurt’ by calls to end campaign

Democratic senators backing President Biden’s reelection campaign until its final hours were “quite angry and hurt” by the calls from fellow Democrats on him to end his campaign, Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) says in a new interview with Robert Costa of CBS This Morning.

Coons, Biden’s top ally in the Senate, described difficult weeks leading up to Biden’s decision as the Democratic Party was torn apart by the debate over Biden’s future.

Costa said some Democrats felt “betrayed” by those calls, a point Coons did not dispute.
