Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

Yeah, his commander in chief told him to buck up and focus.
Is this from memory/notes or teleprompter?
Teleprompter.
The guy asking the first question flubbed some words. And had his facts wrong about the UAW. Maybe he's crazy and shouldn't be a journalist?
I want to see a top story on this on every website: Reuters-guy-gate
His facts weren't wrong. The UAW has just changed their tune since yesterday.
Jesus, Joe. That last statement you gave the Republicans the sound bite for the ages:
"Listen to him."
Fucking dumbass. Dumb dumb dumb dumb.

I really want to see Biden as the last man standing... let the conference run 3 hours.
"C'mon, man! Ask me your questions! Ohhhh are you all getting 'too tired'? Do you need to go home for naps?"
let the conference run 3 hours.
That’s not a good idea. His bedtime is 8.
He has flubbed a few words, but has a clear train of thought so far in the speech.

The #1 thing I was looking for is Biden's face when someone is talking to him.
During the debate and the interview with Stephanopoulos, he had this vacant, slack jawed look like he didn't know where he was or what was going on.
So far, he has completely avoided that. He looks active and engaged.
Not a great sign that this praise sounds like the doctor's notes from my toddler's last check-up.
It's just so fucking surreal that people keep trying to say this is ok...
It's also fucking surreal that so many people think they know everything.
Yep. Like when Biden ordered every federal agency back to the office
For pretty much no reason. He just thought he knew better than every agency head and apparently this was what he wanted to actually put effort behind.
It's weird, one of the few things he really did on his own, and it never gets brought up
During the debate and the interview with Stephanopoulos, he had this vacant, slack jawed look like he didn’t know where he was or what was going on.
Its a much better performance. Can it move the needle though?
Its not us, the wonk's of the wonk's who need to be moved. Its Average Voter who needs to be moved. Biden needs big W's to get back in this, not slightly smaller L's. Also, he called Zelnzkiy Putin, and Kamela Harris with Trump, thats whats trending at the moment. Gonna be much harder to get "industrial policy regarding defensive capabilities" trending.
Is this enough?
The question right now is on his Gaza performance, so here's hoping...
"My numbers are better in Israel than they are here"
Thats the soundbyte we'll get.
Is this boosting anyone's confidence on Biden staying in the race?
He's doing better in this than the interview or the debate.
Biden looked ok he made joke got mad about gun violence took shots at trump still needs to do more but this is a decent first step to show he can actually win

Oh dear...
OH DEAR.
OH DEAR!!!!
He did alright. Alright isn't enough. He needed a homerun to unfuck this, and he hit a single. I think from here on out, Biden is a detriment to the party ticket. If he stays in, our fight becomes much harder.

Media is seething rn. They wanted Biden to break down and start sobbing on stage. He basically told them they were stupid for running a major story about a minor flub this afternoon.
They are mad that Biden turned their accusations into a boring press conference about NATO and his accomplishments.

This is Biden's first press conference this year.
Adding context: This will be his first formal solo news conference since November 2023. Biden also holds the fewest news conferences since Ronald Reagan.https://apnews.com/live/election-biden-trump-campaign-updates-07-11-2024
fewest news conferences since Ronald Reagan
Weird...
I wonder what else we find out Joe and Ronnie had in common...
Edit:
Right before he came out, they said first in 8 months.
Also, Biden just fucking ran out there and immediately went off on a speech...
I've never seen man's walk that fast in my life.
I'm a few minutes behind but this sounds like he's teeing up Kamala.
So there's a premade list of who gets to ask a question?
Also. Joe's all jacked up on mountain dew and just fucking said trump is his vice president....
Yeah, otherwise you'd have a room full of reporters yelling "Mr. President! Mr. President!"

This like a follow up to Pelosis question.
He loses the plot and ends with "Anyway.."
Abc news has a decent stream while waiting:

There is no good answer he can give to a question like this.
Vice president Trump. Lol
Like three times, and then said he'd beat Trump a second later...
I don't think he realized.
He didn't.
And that will be used against him too. Not only did he make the gaffe, he didn't even realize he made the gaffe.
(And for the record, it's sad that voters are holding Biden to a much higher standard than Trump. But here we are.)

Bets he doesn't show?
This is just sad.
His response to the geopolitical question is very well articulated.
