Biden’s latest attempt to convince everyone he has what it takes to stay in the race will air at 6:30 PM Eastern / 3:30 PM Pacific.

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!

    It’s already trending on Twitter. The constant throat clearing is a little much. He talks too low also.

      A board-certified neurologist stated on NBC the other night that “it is a fact that he has Parkinson’s” based on a variety of his behaviors, the slow and low-toned voice being one indicator of many.

          Yeah certainly not kosher to diagnose remotely short of physically visiting with patient or reading their file; but I do suspect it can be pretty obvious for an expert to see whose symptoms are (a) largely on public display, and (b) said behaviors are pretty unique to Parkinson’s. But nevertheless, he’s the expert not me. Seems pretty obvious to me that Biden is certainly declining.
