New York Times: “For nearly an hour, at the most anticipated news conference of his presidency, Mr. Biden held forth on the nation, the world and his future. He demonstrated a grasp of the issues and seemed most comfortable during a long discourse on foreign policy. He argued that age gave him wisdom and made clear that he had no intention of dropping out of the race.”
“The challenge, however, is that every momentary flub, every verbal miscue, even if quickly corrected, now takes on outsize importance, ricocheting across the internet in viral video clips, some more distorted than others, that may reinforce doubts about his capacity. He gets no free passes anymore, not since last month’s debate. The reality is that every public appearance between now and November will be scrutinized for evidence of infirmity.”
