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!

    This is like, actually the worst answer he’s given in the conference. Like, dude, you are polling in the 30s. Don’t bring up the polling if you are trying to make your case. Whatever you do pretend the polling doesn’t exist.

    Biden: No ones saying that.

    Bruh. Everyones saying that. Fuck he fumbled ENTIRELY on the final question. That went from minor win/ good to… fucking disaster in that last minute.

        Yeah I had it as a slight win even with the first couple major gaffes.

        It doesn’t matter that he had several good, if spoken slowly, cogent answers on Ukraine, Europe, defensive production and budget, etc…

        That last question: “Talk to him” and “The campaign hasn’t started”.

        Bruh.

        BRUH

        That puts more weight on the first few gaffes. Like jesus christ dude just take the fucking W and walk off the god damned stage.
