During a press conference at the conclusion on the NATO summit in Brussels on Monday, President Biden commented on party politics calling the Republican Party “vastly diminished in numbers,” its leadership “fractured” and that the “Trump wing of the party is the bulk of the party but it makes up a significant minority of the American people.”

Here at this meeting and earlier at the G7, you've said several times that America is back at allies side, but a lot of those allies are themselves pretty rattled by what happened on January 6 and attempted overturning of your election. And they may still be alarmed by the continued hold that Donald Trump has over the Republican party and the rise of nationalist figures like him around the world. What do you say to those allies? What have you been saying to them at these meetings about how the next president of the United States can keep any promises you make?

JOE BIDEN: What I'm saying is to them is watch me. I mean, I'm not saying anything, quite frankly. I'm just going out.

People, as I've said before, I don't doubt that I mean what I say. And they believe that I keep my commitments when I say it. I'm not making any promises to anyone that I don't believe are overwhelmingly likely to be kept.

7. There's no evidence of that.

They got a record number of votes for a sitting POTUS in 2020.

They set records with different demographic groups.

They nearly took back the House.

They control State houses.

It's not wise to whistle past the graveyard.

Complacency leads to future defeats. We need to understand that the threat is real. The Census favored the GOP and they will gain seats and EV's for the next decade.

Focus on the Stacey Abrams of the country, organize and rally the voters to come out. Period.
