On top of hosting this year's NATO Summit for 31 U.S. allies, President Joe Biden will hold a press conference Thursday as the world continues to rigorously examine his presidential candidacy since his botched debate performance in June.

All eyes have locked onto Biden at the Washington, D.C. summit marking the 75th anniversary of the NATO alliance as he reaffirms the U.S. commitment to the intergovernmental group. Since his dismal debate appearance with former President Donald Trump two weeks ago, some Democrats have openly questioned whether he should represent the party with others directly urging him to drop out of the race altogether.

"Joe Biden is a patriot but is no longer the best candidate to defeat Trump," Rep. Pat Ryan, D-N.Y., who represents a swing district, said in a statement Wednesday. "For the good of our country, I am asking Joe Biden to step aside − to deliver on his promise to be a bridge to a new generation of leaders"

Biden's responses to reporter questions as well how he delivers the answers serves as an important test at this stage of the election cycle.
