Biden’s latest attempt to convince everyone he has what it takes to stay in the race will air at 6:30 PM Eastern / 3:30 PM Pacific.

My expectation is that it will be on all the usual sources. CNN, MSNBC, etc. etc. with in depth coverage on the talking head shows later tonight.

Edit Conference is running 20+ 50+ minutes late after already being pushed back 1 hour from 5:30 to 6:30.

Not sure if that’s good news or bad news.

Here we go! 58 minutes late, but he’s on a roll talking about NATO.

Oh, snap! Reminding everyone that Article 5 has only been used once… 9/11.

Speech ran less than 10 minutes, but was a strong speech, now the questions.

Fumbles on the first answer, calling out “Vice President Trump”. :(

Ended after almost an hour with one final question on “Vice President Trump” - Biden’s answer “Listen to him.” End conference.

Overall, I’m pretty happy with how it went!

    He’s been a gaffe machine his entire life. I don’t think that’s a sign of an old, decrepit mind, but the sign that the same Biden who referred to his running mate in 2008 as “Barack America” and his running mate’s opponent as “George” (rather than John McCain) is running for President in 2024. I think I like his answer. “You can either watch what I say during a high-pressure interview for 90 minutes, or you can watch what I did for 3.5 years with a staunch opposition throwing out the road blocks every chance they got. But if you vote against me, you get Project 2025. You might want to look that up before you cast your vote.”
