00:00Hi. Is President Biden considering stepping down?

00:05Absolutely not.

00:07And you heard, I believe,

00:09directly from the campaign as well.

00:11Given the groundswell of concern from fellow Democrats,

00:15from donors, from supporters,

00:17doesn't he owe it to the American public

00:20to reflect on whether he should step down?

00:24I mean, look, very much into Sung Min's question

00:27and my answer to her question,

00:29where he had an opportunity to talk to supporters.

00:32He's done it a couple times at this point

00:34and laid out what happened on that night.

00:37Talked about how he understands,

00:39and it was not his best night.

00:41He understands that it is fair for people to ask that question.

00:46But we cannot forget his record and what he's been able to do.

00:50We cannot forget how he's been able to deliver

00:53for the American people for almost four years.

00:55That matters, too.

00:56And he has the most historic record administration,

01:03the most in modern politics.

01:05And that should matter.

01:07And he wants to continue to do that work.

01:10And, you know, a lot of what's on his agenda

01:15is very much popular with majority of the American people,

01:17whether it's continuing to build a strong economic policies.

01:24He's done that.

01:25Creating new jobs.

01:26He's done that.

01:27Fifteen million jobs.

01:28He wants to work on that and continue to do that.

01:30And so he wants to continue to deliver expanding healthcare.

01:34All of these things he believes is important.

01:36Majority of Americans believe it's important.

01:38And his record, he wants to make sure

01:40that people do not forget about the record

01:42that he's been able to lay on behalf of the American people.

01:45Is there anything, Karine, that would change his mind?

01:49Look, I cannot lay out something

01:52that would change the President's mind.

01:54He has been very clear.

01:57And he's going to continue to build

02:01on the unprecedented record

02:03that he's been able to lay out for the American people.

02:06That's his focus right now.

02:08Thank you.
