President Joe Biden is facing increased pressure from within his own Democratic Party not to seek re-election after a recent news conference raised further doubts about his capabilities. Biden's nuanced discussions on global issues were overshadowed by verbal missteps and name confusions, intensifying concerns about his age and leadership abilities amid low approval ratings. A senior campaign official described Biden's performance as "the worst of all worlds," neither poor enough to change his mind nor sufficiently good and that it would "give some enough cover to back him publicly. During the conference, he referred to his vice president, Kamala Harris, as "Vice President Trump" just hours after introducing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy as "President Putin" at the NATO summit.
