President Joe Biden vowed he would remain in the 2024 presidential race, but two critical mistakes in the span of two hours deepened concerns about his mental acuity that threaten his campaign.
I know my bar has dropped a lot, but he spoke for an hour and fielded questions. He was pretty damn coherent, and knew what the fuck he was talking about defending his foreign policy decisions, etc. it kinda sucks all of that is boiled down to he said the wrong name.
I want him to step aside for another candidate. His “bad debate night” was scary as fuck. But this article is ridiculous.
he spoke confidently on a range of complex issues from the tax code and trade policy to Russia and the Israel-Hamas war.
I feel like people who said he had a good conference are either
back to covering for him or
have been caught in the “boiling frog” of Biden’s long decline that they have a warped sense of what people expect from their president.
I watched maybe half of it. It was painful. He was mumbly. He misspoke. He lost his train of thought. His expressions and body language were stiff and unnatural. Occasionally he remembered some talking points and was able to regurgitate them without messing up too badly.
If the guy we saw last night was my waiter at a restaurant I would assume my food was going to arrive late, cold, and not be at all what I ordered.
“confuses” is different from “misspeaks” though…

BUT…
Were you and I watching the same presser? He had moments of brilliance, but his fumbles were apparent throughout the night.

He sounded punch drunk.
