President Biden is set to conclude the NATO summit with a crucial news conference that holds the potential to either reinvigorate his presidential campaign or intensify calls for his resignation. The conference, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Eastern, will be closely observed by Biden’s supporters, skeptics, and adversaries alike for any signs of verbal slips or cognitive lapses, reminiscent of his past public appearances.
Despite mounting pressure to withdraw from the race, Biden remains steadfast, dismissing the polls indicating his lag behind Donald Trump. Speculation about internal discord within his camp has surfaced, with reports of advisors exploring strategies to convince him to step aside in favor of a more competitive candidate. However, both the White House and Biden’s campaign have refuted any such rift.
Furthermore, there have been discreet efforts within the Biden campaign to assess Vice President Kamala Harris’s potential against Trump in a recent survey, marking the first post-debate evaluation of her presidential prospects.
