Biden's health condition discussed in closed meeting

Members of the Democratic Party serving in the US House of Representatives came together in a caucus meeting to discuss whether President Joe Biden should withdraw from the presidential election due to his health condition. The meeting, which took place behind closed doors in the capital Washington, was important in that it was the first to be held since the live election debate in which Joe Biden participated. At the end of the meeting, where cell phones were not allowed inside to prevent recording, Democratic House members refrained from making detailed statements to the press as per the decision made. New Jersey House Member Jerry Nadler, who was previously among the Democrats who wanted Biden to withdraw from his candidacy, told NBC upon exiting, “Regardless of whether I have concerns or not, I fully support Biden, I will campaign for him, it is very important for him to win.” Another Democratic member of the party who did not want to be named told the Washington Post that the general result of the meeting was to support Biden, but that some members still expressed concerns that “Biden’s age will continue to be a topic of discussion until the election.” Democrats in the Senate will also hold a separate closed group meeting to evaluate discussions about Biden's age. NATO Summit will test Biden's health On the other hand, Biden, who hosts the leaders of member countries gathered in the capital for the NATO Summit, will also be tested by showing that he can serve another 4 years under the difficult conditions required by the presidency amid the busy schedule of the summit. The White House hopes to show Democrats, who are undecided about Biden's candidacy, that Biden is still "in good health for the presidency" with the meetings, conversations with leaders, long diplomatic dinners, receptions and the press conference that concludes the summit during the busy NATO Summit. Biden had told MSNBC last night that his work at the summit, which celebrated NATO's 75th anniversary, would be a good way to evaluate his ability to continue as president for another 4 years, arguing that his work bringing NATO members together on Ukraine was a prime example of his stable leadership and an indicator that he deserves to serve another term in the White House. The summit, which will bring together the leaders of 32 NATO countries as well as Pacific partners Australia, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea, as well as the leaders of Ukraine, will be one of Biden’s last international meetings before the November elections. First live broadcast and discussions about Biden’s health Democratic Party Joe Biden and Republican rival Donald Trump, who are competing in the US presidential election to be held on November 5, competed in the first live debate on CNN on the night of June 27. Biden, 81, failed to deliver a performance that would allay concerns about his age in his second term candidacy and was subjected to intense criticism after the program. Members of the Democratic Party and some media outlets that support Biden had called on Biden to “withdraw from the presidential election.” Biden, on the other hand, admitted that his health was not what it used to be, stated that he was still the best alternative to Trump, and announced that he would not withdraw from the race.
