  • Mr. President, your political future has hung over the NATO summit a little bit this week.

  • Speaker Pelosi made a point of suggesting that your decision on whether to stay in the race was still open.

  • George Clooney and a handful of lawmakers have called on you to step aside.

  • Reuters is reporting tonight that UAW leadership is concerned about your ability to win.

  • UAW just endorsed me, but go ahead.

  • Thank you. Um, my question for you is how are you incorporating these developments into your decision to stay?

  • And separately, what concerns do you have about Vice President Harris's ability to beat Donald Trump if she were at the top of the ticket? Look, I wouldn't have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president, do I think she was not qualified to be president.

  • So let's start there.

  • Number one, the fact is that the consideration is that I think I'm the most qualified person to run for president.

  • I beat him once and I will beat him again. Secondly, the idea, I served in the Senate a long time.

  • The idea that senators and congressmen running for office worry about the ticket is not unusual.

  • And I might add, there are at least five presidents running or incumbent presidents who had lower numbers than I have now, later in the campaign.

  • So there's a long way to go in this campaign. And so I, uh, I'm just going to keep moving, keep moving and because look, I got more work to do.

  • We've got more work to finish.

  • There's so much, we've made so much progress.

  • Think about it.

  • Think about where we are economically relative to the rest of the world.

  • Name me a world leader who wouldn't want to trade places with our economy.

  • We've created over 800,000 manufacturing jobs, 1.5 million, I mean, so things are moving.

  • We got more to go. Working class people still have, need help.

  • Corporate greed is still at large, their prices, corporate profits have doubled since the pandemic.

  • They're coming down.

  • And so I'm optimistic about where things are going.

Mr. President, your political future has hung over the NATO summit a little bit this week.
