As the US president’s reelection bid faced a critical week, Joe Biden urged Democratic lawmakers to either support his campaign or challenge him at the party convention next month. Despite doubts about his age and performance, Biden remains defiant and committed to staying in the race.
Hosting a summit of NATO leaders in Washington, Biden will be under extra scrutiny to reassure allies amid polls favoring his rival, Donald Trump. Despite facing pressure to step aside, Biden called on his critics to challenge him at the convention if they believe he should not run.
In a show of determination, Biden wrote a letter to Democratic Party lawmakers reaffirming his commitment to staying in the race. As lawmakers return from recess, the pressure mounts for them to either support Biden or push for his withdrawal.
NATO Summit
Biden’s performance at the NATO summit will be closely watched following concerns raised during the debate. With the potential for a turning point in his candidacy, party lawmakers will convene to discuss the path forward.
