President Joe Biden’s family remains “all in” on him remaining in the 2024 race even as questions swirl about the future of his candidacy, a source familiar with the family’s thinking said. “There is no change,” the source said. “The first lady is all in. The family’s all in.” First lady Jill Biden, the president’s closest confidant, was on the road in the battleground state of Michigan ahead of a Wednesday evening return. In Washington, meanwhile, the White House publicly maintained the president is “absolutely not” considering stepping down, even as Biden has privately acknowledged the next stretch of days is crucial to his campaign. “Because there’s a lot of talk out there, let me repeat what my husband has said plainly and clearly: Joe is the Democratic nominee and he is going to beat Donald Trump, just like he did in 2020,” Jill Biden said at the opening of a campaign office in Traverse City, Michigan, according to a pool report. “Are you ready to help me?” “Joe has been knocked down and counted out his whole life, but when he gets knocked down, he gets back up. When he gets counted out, he works harder. And that’s what he’s doing, but he needs your help,” she added. The first lady attended two official White House events in Middleville, Michigan, to highlight summer nutrition programs and a Hidden Helpers summer camp for children from military families, as well as the campaign office opening with Chasten Buttigieg, the husband of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
Biden’s uncertain future set to overshadow NATO summit as concerns about Trump winning election grow
When dozens of world leaders convene in Washington, DC for the NATO 75th anniversary summit next week, they won’t only be looking to underscore the unity of the alliance – they will also be carefully watching US President Joe Biden after his poor debate performance last week.
President Joe Biden’s team has telegraphed a strategy to put the president forth for more casual, unscripted events and an accelerated public schedule as he seeks to shift the narrative away from his poor debate performance. But Biden is now under intense scrutiny at this critical moment for his political future – with heightened attention on every verbal slip, diversion, and moment of confusion, and questions about whether that strategy will have its intended outcome.
