Biden press conference so far: he's doing fine. Rambling a bit, pivoting to key messages but sounding sensible and on top of his brief, and he's managed 15 minutes without insulting any of the journalists which makes a change from the last guy
Biden managing to avoid obvious traps, eg "are you worried the GOP's voter suppression will make it hard for Democrats to be elected?", he didn't say Yes but pivoted passionately to why the voter suppression is unfair instead
And on "do you expect to be running against Trump?" he said "I've no idea. I've no idea if there will still be a Republican party". He has a scatterbrained style and senior moments but he's sharp and on message.
Biden says our grandkids will be doing their PhDs on "who succeeded: autocracy or autocracy?" and how democracies can continue to compete in Fourth Industrial Revolution... Actual political theory from a President. It's been a while.
No obvious bad headlines from that Biden presser. On a Pass/Fail grade it was clearly a pass.
