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!

    (And for the record, it’s sad that voters are holding Biden to a much higher standard than Trump. But here we are.)

    Trump already fails even lower standards. In fact, I can’t think of any serious standard that Trump doesn’t fail.

    “don’t be a jackass” Fail.

    “don’t be a fascist.” double fail.

    “Be human.” Tripple fail.

    “don’t be a rapist”. fail-tacular.

    “Don’t be a child rapist”… Failing-spree.

    In any case, I think a lot of people are afraid of trump winning- and with very good cause, so Biden has a lot of scrutiny. “I beat him before” doesn’t really hold water. he squeaked that under the wire in four states, any 3 of which flipping would have given it to trump. (PA, AZ, GA, CO,) and plenty of others were pretty damn close, too. Trump has had 4 years to improve his image and energize his base. Biden is less popular than he was in 2020. Anyone whose not worried is gonna have a rude awakening, I think.
