President Joe Biden declared his intent to “finish the job” during a solo press conference on Thursday night, despite increasing calls from some Democrats for him to step down from the 2024 presidential race. This press conference, held at the conclusion of the NATO summit in Washington, D.C., marked a crucial moment following Biden’s recent unsteady debate performance which raised concerns about his viability as the party’s nominee.
Throughout the conference, President Biden emphasized his command over foreign policy issues, despite a few verbal stumbles. Addressing whether his delegates could vote for someone else, Biden stated, “If they say they want somebody else, that’s the Democratic process,” but confidently whispered, “it’s not gonna happen.”
Biden opened the conference by highlighting the successes of the NATO summit and contrasting his foreign policy stance with that of former President Donald Trump. “For those who thought NATO’s time had passed, they got a rude awakening when Putin invaded Ukraine,” he said, asserting that other world leaders credited him for the alliance’s unity.
Regarding domestic concerns, Biden responded to questions about his fitness for office and the growing calls for him to step aside. Connecticut Rep. Jim Himes and other Democrats have expressed doubts about Biden’s ability to defeat Trump in 2024, urging him to make way for a new generation of leaders. However, Biden dismissed these concerns, stating, “No, unless they came back and said, ‘There’s no way you can win.’” He further emphasized his campaign’s strong fundraising and organizational efforts in battleground states.
The president also addressed international issues, expressing disappointment over limited success in his initiatives to aid Gaza but announcing progress in negotiations between Israel and Hamas.
Throughout the nearly hourlong press conference, Biden maintained that his work and accomplishments are proof of his mental acuity and capacity to continue leading. He reiterated his determination to run for reelection, stating, “I gotta finish this job, because there’s so much at stake.”
As Biden continues to campaign, he aims to reassure the public of his capabilities and dedication to his role as President, despite the increasing pressure from within his party.
I agree with Biden, we should stop discriminating our elders in political leadership, wisdom is god given and human beings do not expire like food.
Comrade go on and finish your final race!
Nobody can finish anything. It’s a relay You have to hand over the button to the next person.
LT should stop making Biden a headline when we have so many local overriding problems. Money has been stolen by our new government. Give us the 45 on that
@Deja Vu, haha… think before..
since you can’t finish job on your wife, can you pass her to me then?
@Nostradamus… you are the one who should think before you say anything. I spare the insults for the time being.
@Deja Vu,
OK Sorry.. its because of boring stories.
Hopefully our HH will hand over the Batton at the end of 2026
showing them how it should be done
There is no need to change in Zambia ever again. The president to replace HH is not yet born.
HH is the only President who has done the right thing for the country. others were just singers, killers of pilot, judges & uncle, watching nude, syphoning our money and gassing their own people. Running this country is NOT Hollywood nor Nollywood, but head on as HH is doing.
HH and UPND, FORWARD! because of the right policies.
If you can not see the good polices, please go and wash your faces in the ZAMBEZI RIVER.
He’s very stubborn, just like ka Edgar Lungu. He’ll just cause democrats to lose elections. I feel sorry for HH because had Edgar won the 2021 elections…….
The 2026 election in Zambia is already rigged with HH winning. With all the mediocrity of most Ministers in UPND, we have trouble in 2031. For now the sensible combination in 2031 is Felix Mutati or Edify Hamukale for president with Muhabi Lungu or Binwell mpundu for vice president.
May be Nawakwi can try in 2026 but its already rigged an election. Saboi and Kalaba lack humility.
If we find a credible opposition being formed NOW
HH will not win … there is no credible one at this time so less HOPE something comes our way
AND LT why Biden rather go ZB and copy paste if you lost for zambian news
By the way I didn’t see our Nevas Mumba monitor the just ended UK elections. What happened. Did they forget to send someone from here?
Because of their inferiority complexes, Africans think they can’t monitor European elections. Master is always right-after all he sends me loans. They only know how to monitor Zimbabwean elections.
