(CNN) A top aide to former Vice President Joe Biden met with Democrats on Capitol Hill on Wednesday to remind them of Biden's work in the 2018 midterm elections in a not-so-subtle nod to the 2020 race ahead.

"Everything is going ahead as scheduled," Greg Schultz, who is poised to run Biden's expected 2020 presidential campaign, said, according to a participant in the room.

Biden is close to making an announcement about his plans for 2020, which could come as soon as next week.

Schultz is the executive director of Biden's "American's Possibilities PAC." He said the former vice president "is committed to growing and expanding the House Democratic majority."
