‘I believe I’m the best qualified to govern and I think I’m the best qualified to win,’ President Joe Biden said in press conference following NATO summit.

WASHINGTON—President Joe Biden stated at a much-anticipated press conference on July 11 that he is the best candidate to win the 2024 presidential election.

“We have more to do,” the president said. “We’ve got to finish the job.”

He made the comments to the press at the close of the three-day NATO summit held in Washington.

He said calls for him to step down as the Democratic nominee were “premature” and urged voters to watch the polling numbers in the coming months “because the campaign really hasn’t even started.”

President Biden expressed a commitment to continue the work of his administration into another term.

“What’s going on? We’ve slowed down China’s reach. But there’s a lot of work to do. This is a moving target, and I don’t take it lightly,” he said, noting there’s “so much is at stake” with the 2024 election.

During the press conference, President Biden discussed NATO strategies regarding Russia and China, continuing military support for Ukraine in its war against Russia, and increases in defense spending among NATO allies.

He also responded to questions about his candidacy and recent media speculation.

A number of media outlets, pundits, donors, and Democrat lawmakers have called on the president to drop out of the race after his performance in the June 27 debate against former President Donald Trump.

In response to critics, President Biden has repeatedly said that he has no intention to step aside.

Since the first debate, President Biden has been actively rallying support. He visited the The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations at union headquarters in Washington on July 10.

President Liz Shuler, who leads the federation of 60 national and international labor unions, told the president, “We have your back” in the election.

French President Emmanuel Macron said on July 11 at the NATO summit that he “didn’t understand” a reporter’s question asking his opinion about whether President Biden should stay in the race.
