Coons stated that Biden is carefully considering his options and evaluating who would be the best candidate to win in November and uphold the Democratic Party's values and priorities.
During a panel at the Aspen Institute's Aspen Security Forum, Coons highlighted Biden's recent participation in the NATO summit in Washington, D.C., following a challenging debate performance. Despite criticisms of Biden's strength and capabilities, Coons expressed his confidence in Biden's ability to lead the country.
Coons acknowledged the concerns and anxiety surrounding the upcoming election, emphasizing the significant stakes and profound consequences of the outcome. He noted that while some Congressional Democrats have urged Biden to step aside, he disagrees with this sentiment and believes that Biden is the right choice for the presidency.
