President Biden is set to face the media in his first solo press conference since his debate last month, amid concerns about his mental acuity and health. The press conference is scheduled for Thursday at 5:30 p.m. following his meetings with NATO leaders in Washington, D.C. This event, dubbed a 'big boy press conference,' will see Biden fielding questions from the media solo, marking his first solo press conference of the year.
Following his poor debate performance, there have been heightened concerns within the Democratic Party about the president's age and mental sharpness. Several elected Democrats have called on Biden to drop out, while others, including Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff, have expressed concerns about his re-election effort.
