He done Good…
Maybe this will calm some of the media down by his increase feeding them.. …..
They get more bites coming this week….
And ole Joe seems to be getting his ‘sea legs’ Maybe?
Could all this shit throw at him make him change his ways and get better facing into the wind?….
Maybe even stop the bleeding from his debate appearance?
Joe Biden faced a test Thursday that he had avoided so far this year — a solo news conference with questions from the White House press corps.
The news conference was meant to reassure a disheartened group of Democratic lawmakers, allies and persuadable voters in this year’s election that Biden still has the strength and stamina to be president. Biden has tried to defend his feeble and tongue-tied performance in the June 27 debate against Republican Donald Trump as an outlier rather than evidence that at 81 he lacks the vigor and commanding presence that the public expects from the commander in chief.
He made at least two notable flubs, referring at an event beforehand to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as “President Putin” and then calling Kamala Harris “Vice President Trump” when asked about her by a reporter. But he also gave detailed responses about his work to preserve NATO and his plans for a second term. And he insisted he’s not leaving the race even as a growing number of Democratic lawmakers ask him to step aside….
…
Overall, Biden spoke forcefully and fluently about foreign policy, one of his favorite subjects. But the news conference’s focus wasn’t really foreign policy, it was reassuring Democrats and the world that Biden is still able to be president and beat Trump.
That shows how even Biden’s strengths are being overshadowed by questions about his capabilities….
…
There were few fireworks in Biden’s answers — with the highly anticipated event at times coming across as more of a think tank lecture than an effort to grab voters’ attention. He went into granular detail on geopolitics and rattled off numbers — asking at one moment, though, to not be held to the precise figure.
While it didn’t erase the stumbles and blank stares from the debate, it showed that he could engage with reporters’ questions on a range of issues without losing focus….
