The three-day summit is focused on ways to reassure Ukraine of NATO's enduring support and offer hope to its citizens that their country can survive the war. Biden's speech came at a consequential time for his presidency and potential second term.

Despite concerns about his fitness for office, Biden and the White House have maintained that he will continue running his 2024 re-election campaign. Sources told Fox News Digital that Biden has been personally calling Democratic colleagues, supporters, and donors to quell concerns.

The strategy appears to be working, with House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer coming out in support of the president. Rank-and-file Democrats in the House, as well as top Democratic senators, have also rallied behind Biden.

However, Democratic sources told Fox News Digital that the reality is that Election Day is just four months away, and the Democratic Party cannot simply parachute a replacement in that can beat former President Donald Trump at this late stage in the game.
