President Biden is holding a highly anticipated press conference in Washington on Thursday in which he is poised to face a barrage of questions from reporters about the calamity now surrounding his 2024 reelection campaign.

The event will close out this week’s NATO summit during which the president hosted foreign leaders. But world events did little to quell the panic among Democrats back home who are increasingly losing confidence in their party leader.

So far, Biden has flat out rejected calls to drop out of the race, but pushes for him to step aside are increasing by the day.
