Michael Bennet: First Democratic senator questions Biden candidacy
==========
Senator Michael Bennet becomes the first Democratic senator to publicly question President Joe Biden's election chances, expressing the belief that Biden will lose to Donald Trump by a "landslide". However, Bennet stops short of telling Biden to end his candidacy. Questions about Biden's fitness for office have been raised after a stumbling presidential debate performance against Trump. Despite the criticism, Biden insists he can beat Trump and continues to hold support among key allies. Congressional Democrats met to debate his leadership, with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer reiterating his support for Biden. Congressman Hank Johnson emphasizes the importance of party solidarity and the overwhelming support for Biden among voters of color. Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey becomes the seventh House Democrat to publicly call on Biden not to run for re-election, stating that the stakes are "too high". Two other senators reportedly believe that Biden cannot win the White House again, although they have not publicly broken ranks. Speculation grows over who would replace Biden if he chose to step down, with Vice-President Kamala Harris earning some high-profile backers. Trump suggests that Harris would be a "better" competitor for the White House but expects Biden to stay in the race due to his ego. The Nato summit, where Biden is hosting world leaders, puts him in an even brighter spotlight and faces intense global scrutiny. Diplomats visiting Washington for the summit express doubts about Biden's ability to stay in office for another four years. Biden challenges his doubters to either challenge him or unite behind his candidacy.
