00:00The Press You said just a minute ago that the President

00:03wants to turn the page on the last couple weeks and get to the other side of this, where

00:08the White House wants to.

00:10Has President Biden seen enough support over the last 36 hours from fellow Democrats in

00:16Congress to now start turning the page and look ahead?

00:20I mean, what's his reaction been to what he's seen since Congress has gotten back?

00:26I mean, it's very similar to how I answered the question to one of your colleagues.

00:30He's very much focused on what's ahead, right?

00:33He's very much focused.

00:34He has a fulsome, robust schedule the next two weeks that we laid out for all of you.

00:39He wants to focus on that, the messages that he wants to come out when he goes to Texas

00:43next week, when he goes to Vegas next week.

00:46He's going to be on the road on Friday as well.

00:50I also want to say he is proud of the Congressional Black Caucus, who said they have – he has

00:57their support.

00:58The Congressional Hispanic Caucus did the same, and other members of Congress, obviously.

01:05And so, look, he wants to move forward.

01:09As your colleague said, definitely unite the party, continuing to unite the party.

01:15We heard from Representative Meeks, who said the Democrats – the congressional Democrats

01:18came out of the meeting today united.

01:21I think that's important to note.

01:22But the President's going to move forward.

01:24He's going to move forward, and he's going to continue to go out there, engage – engage

01:29with the American public like you saw him do in Pennsylvania, and he's going to stay

01:33focused on that.

01:34Well, do you – does he feel like he's weathered the storm, so to speak?

01:37Look, I think that he is more determined than ever to continue to get the job done, to continue

01:45to build an economy that works for all, to continue to make sure that we have a middle

01:52class, right, that is strong, right, that we don't have a trickle-down economy, an

01:58economy that's built from the bottom up, middle out.

02:00That's what he wants to continue to do.

02:02I think this week, with the NATO summit, the 75th year of NATO, let's not forget NATO

02:08has helped to protect Americans and also protect the world, and what it's been able to do

02:13for the past 75 years.

02:14You're going to see the President engaging with 32 leaders of this alliance.

02:21I think that's really important.

02:22That's, again, on behalf of the American people, so he wants to do that.

02:26He has a lot on his mind, and as it deals with making sure we deliver for the American

02:31people, that's what he's going to focus on.
