United States President Joe Biden faces a crucial week that will test his resilience as calls for him to step aside gain momentum. Allies are urging him to prove he is the best candidate to defeat Donald Trump in the upcoming election.
The Democratic Senator Chris Murphy emphasized the importance of this week, as NATO leaders convene for a summit in Washington. European nations are concerned about a potential Trump victory due to his past criticisms of NATO and close relations with Russian President Putin.
While Biden prepares for the summit, First Lady Jill Biden will campaign on his behalf in key states. Meanwhile, Democratic lawmakers are under pressure to either support Biden or push him to withdraw from the race.
With the clock ticking before the election, Biden faces increasing scrutiny over his health and ability to lead. The upcoming NATO summit and press conference will be significant moments for him to prove his candidacy.
