President Joe Biden struck a defiant tone during what was perhaps the most consequential press conference of his political career, insisting that he is the best candidate to take on Donald Trump in November, even as he stumbled through several answers.
Biden read prepared remarks off a teleprompter and answered questions from a pre-selected list of reporters Thursday night at NATO’s 75th anniversary summit, addressing a range of subjects including the history of NATO, Russia’s war against Ukraine, inflation, and Israel’s war against Hamas. The embattled president showed signs of his age throughout the event,

He held on - it was shaky but enough to get to next week. On Monday he needs to have Obama , and probably Clinton too come to the White House and make them stand next to him in the Rose Garden and endorse him. If he makes this a contest about the voter vs the elites he will enhance his chances of staying in the race.

The press conference was live. Biden called on a reporter from NPR, a woman with an Arabic sounding name who wore a head scarf. I saw that wile the woman spoke the camera panned to her. This seemed odd because she was the only reporter so favored during the press conference. But even weirder was that her lip movements didn’t match the words spoken. It was like an old movie shown on TV after 10:00 in the past. As the woman spoke the camera panned back to Biden and his words and lips correlated normally. I wonder why the discrepancy.

What part of Biden is totally demented do the democrats not understand. Do they think maybe this time when they shove him out in public he will speak just fine and have his wits about him? That's never going to happen.

I don't understand the constant praise and accomplishments of NATO when discussing the war in Ukraine. They are not a member and never have been yet they are getting international support without ever having paid a dime for it.
Joe's criticism of Israel and the expectation of them to eliminate Hamas without touching Gaza and their palestinian stooges makes zero sense. Hamas tunnels and weapons storage lead right up to hospitals and schools inside Gaza so how do you attack Hamas, dig tunnels underneath their tunnels? Joe and Blinken are idiots.

No one asked the hard questions, like do you have Parkinson's or what do you see as the endgame in Ukraine?

The Biden in that fake press conference is the same Biden we see every day. The sudden interest from the media in his demeanor is meaningless butt covering. It was all a flurry of provable lies about Trump’s performance as President and Biden’s so-called accomplishments. The creepy whispering and abrupt shouting are nothing new. Is he trying to convince the voters or himself?

Early on he said that he picked Trump for his vice president, confusing him with Harris when asked about her ability to be president. He said he had a list of reporters to pick. He knew the questions that were going to be asked.

It was pathetic...he must have been jacked up on something to last the full hour...the only way obama's team is gonna get him out is...if they give him a golden parachute with a library and enough money to live his life style he's been accustomed to by the 10% adjustment to the biden crime family...the two factions are a war and it looks like Jill isn't giving up her prized position as First Lady...even had a special song ordered to play when she enters a room....talk about chutzpah....

A complete failure. I watched the entire thing but it lost credibility when he picked up a list of reporters to call on. One big fix is what it was. It's sad that we have come to this sorry excuse for a President.

I saw two quick peeks of the press conference while trying to see if "Young Sheldon" was on. Both times, I thought I had tuned in to one of those Best-of-Biden-Flubs videos.
First time, it was the hemming-and-hawing, can't finish a thought, change of subject, rambling sentence.
Second time, was the creepy whispery thing.
Biden speaks for a hour, I catch less than one minute of his speech and get two of his iconic problems? I can't figure the rest of the speech was stellar.

Gun violence taking place overwhelmingly in gun-free Democrat controlled cities. Where guns are legal the thugs are under control.

#12, no need to pay Pedo Joe off. All 0bama needs to do is threaten to expose all of crooked Joe and family’s decades of corruption, with the added threat of prison.
