00:00Is President Biden considering stepping down?

00:04Absolutely not.

00:05And you heard, I believe, directly from the campaign as well.

00:08Is the President telling people he's evaluating the race?

00:12Absolutely false.

00:13That is absolutely false.

00:14I saw that reporting.

00:16We were not given enough time to get back to that reporting, just a couple of minutes,

00:20and we asked the President.

00:22The President responded directly when asked about this question, because we said that

00:27we would, and the President said it is no.

00:29It is absolutely false.

00:31That's coming directly from him.

00:32And Korean President Biden has always promised to tell the American people the truth.

00:37So can you be straight with us and the American people, is the President clear-eyed about

00:41what it takes to stay in the race and what it would take for him to drop out?

00:47The President is clear-eyed, and he is staying in the race.

00:50I don't have anything else beyond that.

00:52He is staying.

00:53He's staying in the race.

00:55That is what the President has promised to do.

00:57That is what he wants to continue to work on the successes that he's had.

01:02His record is unprecedented record, and that is what the President is focused on, continuing

01:08to deliver for the American people.
