Joe Biden, coherently and normally: I have three issues to speak about. First, the NATO conference went well. Second, the economy is back on track and inflation is down. Third, my proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza is moving forward. Any questions?
The media: Did You Know That You Are Old
At one point Biden misspoke and said “Vice President Trump” instead of “Vice President Harris” when answering a question, but to be fair he was probably expecting a relevant question about his opponent and not literally 6 questions in a row about whether or not he’s Dead Yet
Can’t believe I went back on political Twitter for this, but I needed some sane takes after weeks of nonsense.
Biden has a stutter. Sometimes he mixes up names, replaces words, or pauses for a minute. But it’s not forgetfulness - it’s literally misspeaking. It’s not great. But it has nothing to do with his ability to govern.
This press conference showed a clear and in-depth understanding of the job he is doing, particularly in relation to NATO and foreign policy. The media is too cowardly to bother asking Trump the same questions, but I think we all know his responses wouldn’t be nearly as coherent. This whole conversation has been overblown. There’s only one candidate in this race who can do the job, and it’s the one who is already doing it.
I'm honestly appalled that we got some of our first concrete news on a deal that both Israel and Hamas agreed to AND that stipulates Israel will not occupy Gaza after the war, and all everyone can talk about is "Vice President Trump".
To be fair the bots are all talking about it and the press stopped listening to people a long time ago, so you can understand their quandary
Everybody just needs to stfu and get behind Joe and do their civic fucking duty and showthefuckup and vote. At least NYT's editorial board showed some huevos this morning. Everybody and everything else in the news (UNTIL THIS) gets a facepalm.
