Yeah looking like he was able to weather the attempts to replace him. If so, there’s no point in doing that presser and they should cancel any live televised events and interviews they scheduled to showcase his vitality. It can only hurt moving forward. He should go back to campaigning from the basement. Gotta keep him on ice and pray something somehow changes in the state of the race between now and voting day.
I think Biden should continue to tour the country and do campaign events. The North Carolina, Wisconsin rallies and Philly Church events went well. He's also good at old school retail politics that seems to be a lost art in the current era. They should just let Joe be Joe. The guy that could talk with people over breakfast for hours at a Sunday morning diner.
I do worry about him doing the press conference. The media is going to go ham on him and he's likely going to stumble multiple times in his attempt to combat them. And when he doesn't answer the question the way they want, the media is going to pounce on him even harder in real time on national TV. Then 24/7 news media will cover the "after show" of the press conference shytting on Biden. I don't see how it ends well for him.
Biden hosting the NATO summit is a good look for him politically. If the ceasefire can happen this week, Biden announcing that to the country would also be good politically. Biden thrives best in moments where he appears Presidential and like an elder statesman.
