President Joe Biden asserted on Thursday that no poll or advisor has suggested he cannot win the upcoming November general election, despite concerns following his recent debate performance against former President Donald Trump. At a NATO Summit press conference, Biden dismissed stepping aside for Vice President Kamala Harris based solely on polling data.
