1. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Chuck Schumer, U.S. Senate Majority Leader:
Reporter: "Are you confident that President Biden has what it takes to win in November and serve the next four years?
Schumer: As I’ve said before, I’m with Joe. Yes.
Reporter: What do you expect, based on differences of opinion from the Democratic Party about the president and his ability to serve out that there might be a challenge at the convention? And if there is, is there the ability to throw out the virtual nomination?

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Chuck Schumer, U.S. Senate Majority Leader:
"Senator Murray, who just left, made a statement last night, saying that she believes that Biden needs to do more to demonstrate that he’s strong enough to defeat Donald Trump, articulate a vision, and must seriously consider the best way to preserve his legacy. Do you agree with her sentiment?
Schumer: As I’ve said before, I’m with Joe. Thank you everybody."

STORYLINE:
Following closed-door huddles among House and Senate Democrats Tuesday morning, party leaders have renewed their support of the president.
When questioned by reporters about Biden’s candidacy, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., responded with the same refrain each time: “As I’ve said before, I’m with Joe."
Former President Donald Trump is getting back on the campaign trail at his flagship Miami golf resort as Democrats face tough calls over President Joe Biden ’s reelection chances.
Ever since his dismal debate performance, Democrats have been wrestling with whether the 81-year-old Biden should continue as the party’s nominee.
As anxious congressional Democrats returned to Washington weighing whether to work to revive his campaign or to try to edge him out, Biden Monday stood firm against calls for him to drop out of the race.
Against this backdrop of intense political drama, NATO leaders are converging on Washington starting Tuesday for a summit marking the organization’s 75th year.
The main focus of the summit is for NATO leaders to shore up support for Ukraine in its battle against Russia but for Biden the summit has become just as much about demonstrating he is capable of meeting the grinding demands of the presidency for four more years.
