The White 10 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 1: House has rejected a bombshell report from The New York 11 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: Times that claimed Joe Biden told a key ally that 12 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,199 Speaker 1: he knows he may not be able to salvage his 13 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: candidacy if he can't convince the public in the coming 14 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: days that he's up for the job. The White House 15 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: Press Secretary was grilled about the report this morning. Here's 16 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:49,160 Speaker 1: what she had to say. 17 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 3: Is the President telling people he's evaluating the repose. That 18 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 3: is absolutely false. I saw that reporting. We were not 19 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 3: given enough time to get back to that reporting just 20 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 3: a couple of minutes, and we asked the president. The 21 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 3: President responded directly when asked about this question, because we 22 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 3: said that we would and the President said it is no, 23 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 3: it is absolutely false. That's coming directly from him, as 24 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 3: the president clear eyed about what it takes to stay 25 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 3: in the race and what it would take for him 26 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 3: to drop out. The President is clear eyed and he 27 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 3: is staying in the race. 28 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: Back home now.

Its hope 36 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: to the tax would get manufacturers to reduce the amount 37 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: of sugar in their products, but critics say the tax 38 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: would simply be passed on to consumers, which would be 39 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: yet another blow to their hip pockets amid the cost 40 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: of living crisis.
