That's the way it is — whatever he decides we go with.” The former speaker said ‘time is running short’ for the president to make a decision on his re-election campaign. On Tuesday, New Jersey Rep. Mikie Sherrill said in a statement that “I know that President Biden and his team have been true public servants and have put the country and the best interests of democracy first and foremost in their considerations.” “And because I know President Biden cares deeply about the future of our country, I am asking that he declare that he won’t run for reelection and will help lead us through a process toward a new nominee,” she added. “Ukraine can and will stop Putin.” He added: “Today NATO is stronger than it’s ever been in its history.” Some diplomats at the summit said the damage from the debate remains difficult to repair.
