President Joe Biden reaffirmed on Thursday that he will run for the 2024 presidential election, dismissing concerns about his mental health and stating that he will defeat the leading Republican candidate, Donald Trump. At a NATO summit press conference on Thursday, Biden declared himself the "most qualified person to run for president." He also mentioned that he had previously defeated Trump and would do so again.
Despite this, the President mistakenly referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as "Trump." However, he emphasized that Harris is qualified to be president, stating that he wouldn't have chosen her as his vice president if she wasn't capable.
During the meeting, doubts about Biden's ability to run for office became a focal point, with increasing calls for the president to withdraw from the 2024 race. These concerns stemmed from Biden's poor performance during debates with Trump, raising questions about his mental state. Several Democratic senators and donors have urged Biden to drop out of the race.
Biden attributed his debate performance to a busy schedule and emphasized that he is more focused on his health after long hours of work.
