WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Joe Biden won much-needed support from senior Democrats and gave a confident NATO summit speech Tuesday, but doubts over his age and fitness continued to dog his reelection bid.
The top Democrat in the House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries, held meetings with members about whether to ditch Biden as their 2024 candidate following his disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump. Biden meanwhile tried to prove he still has what it takes on the world stage, addressing NATO leaders in Washington, DC for the alliance's 75th anniversary in a closely-watched speech.
'We do want to turn the page,' Biden's spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said Tuesday. 'We want to get to the other side of this.''Step down' Most top Democrats -- such as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who reiterated Tuesday that 'I'm with Joe' -- have rallied behind Biden, even as the party remains divided over a dismal debate performance watched by some 51 million Americans.
