American President Joe Biden continues to face pressure from his own party.

A new Reuters Ipsos poll shows Biden and former president Donald Trump neck and neck on 40% support among registered voters.

She says part of the renewed effort to calm the public is Biden agreeing to an interview with ABC news tomorrow night.
