Democratic Senator makes stunning admission about Biden sparking 'nervousness' on the 'top of the ticket' in Zoom call with supporters

A Democratic senator admitted to DailyMail.com that Democrats are 'nervous' about President Biden negatively impacting down ballot races if he remains at the top of the ticket, as his party grapples with doubts about his health and ability to beat Donald Trump.

After President Joe Biden's awful debate performance nearly two weeks ago, speculation about replacing him as the Democratic presidential candidate began - and it hasn't slowed.

Some Democrat lawmakers have splintered off, saying they don't believe Biden is the best the party has to beat former President Donald Trump. 

So far at least nine House Democrats have publicly called on Biden to withdraw from the race, but there have yet to be any defectors in the Senate, at least not yet. 

In an exclusive video from Tuesday obtained by DailyMail.com, Democrat Sen. Sherrod Brown openly admitted to donors that there's 'nervousness' among his colleagues about the upcoming election.

Brown of Ohio was discussing how down ballot Democrats will fare come November with Biden at the top. 

He stated that despite how many Democrat candidates are 'running ahead of the national ticket,' according to the recording of a fundraising zoom, it is worrisome to have Biden as the leader.

The zoom, hosted by San Francisco-based consultant Jon Foster, sought to raise money for several Senate Democrat campaigns.

The invite indicated money would go to the races of Angela Alsobrooks of Maryland, Colin Allred of Texas, Debbie Mucarsel-Powell in Florida, Elissa Slotkin in Michigan and Ruben Gallego of Arizona.  

'I've watched all five of these races, one had a particularly tough primary but all five of these candidates have shown great skill and know how to win their races,' Brown said on the zoom call. 

'I like people that when they run for the Senate know how to win and when we've had really good years like this is going to be, I see that.'

Then he mentioned the ongoing conversations in Washington, D.C., casting doubt on Biden's ability to win, which have been ongoing all week. 

'So I know that there's some there's some there's some nervousness now,' Brown said. 

'But I look at all of these candidates who  are running ahead of the national ticket, all of them, as all the five targeted incumbents are. I know that when we won in 2020 and took the Senate after Ossoff and Warnock, the first Jewish, the first black senators from Georgia ever won, we were ready and we accomplished great things.'

The odd stumbling over the party's current standing with their presumed nominee highlights Washington Democrat's current struggle to identify whether the president will shepherd the party to victory in November or implode their chances of beating Trump and maintaining control in Congress. 

'I've talked to people across Ohio. They have legitimate questions about whether the president should continue,' Brown said Wednesday.

He has dodged questions about whether Biden should withdraw as the party leader.

Tuesday after a Senate Democrat meeting it was reported that multiple lawmakers were hesitant about Biden's chances against Trump. 

Brown and Sens. Michael Bennett of Colorado and Jon Tester of Montana expressed privately in the meeting to their colleagues they don't believe the president can beat the former president. 

But how Democrat lawmakers go about dealing with their Biden dilemma is yet to be seen.
