Several Democrats and progressives rushed to the defense of President Biden<\/span> as he fielded questions from reporters at the NATO summit about his mental acuity and whether he has what it takes to be successful in the 2024 race for the White House.<\/p>\n Amid growing calls from members of his own party for him to step aside in the presidential election, Biden dismissed the notion that he’s “slowing down” and insisted at a press conference on Wednesday evening that he was “determined on running” in this year’s election.<\/p>\n “Am I getting the job done? Can you name me somebody who’s got more major pieces of legislation passed in three and a half years? I created 2000 jobs just last week. So if I slow down, I can’t get the job done,” Biden said. “That’s a sign that I shouldn’t be doing it. But there’s no indication of that yet. None.”<\/p>\n Despite multiple gaffes during the press conference, multiple Democrats<\/span> took to social media to defend the president’s performance.<\/p>\n BIDEN’S HIGH-STAKES SOLO PRESS CONFERENCE SLAMMED FROM THE RIGHT AS ‘ANOTHER DISASTER’<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
