Hey OnPolitics readers! President Joe Biden is walking a tightrope after a disastrous debate performance that raised new concerns among voters about whether he can defeat  former President Donald Trump in November.

Democrats in Congress weren't out for blood on Tuesday as a debate rages in the party over whether Biden should stay in the 2024 presidential election – but concerns remain following pivotal, private meetings between members, USA TODAY staff reported.

❓What is Biden saying? The president has doubled down on his refusal to step aside. He sent a public letter on Monday to congressional Democrats , saying that he has secured the delegates necessary to be nominated and that he still believes he is the only person who can win against Trump. The White House also said Tuesday that Biden plans to serve his full second term in office if he's reelected.

🌎Biden faces a test at NATO summit this week: Joe Biden is hosting more than 38 leaders for a NATO summit in Washington  this week amid growing scrutiny toward his reelection campaign. The summit was already a pivotal opportunity for the president to reaffirm America's commitment to NATO after former Trump questioned the country's role in the organization. 

πŸ—³️One of the six House Democrats who is publicly calling for Biden to leave the 2024 race doubled down on his views about the president's chances in November.  "He can't win," Rep. Mike Quigley, D-Ill., said of Biden.
