I’m with Mark below. By any reasonable standard, that press conference was awful — halting, weak, and occasionally embarrassing and weird. By the new standard that’s been set, though, Biden did okay. He balanced the bad moments with a couple of long, well-informed, cogent answers on foreign policy. He wasn’t as bad as during the debate. So it’s a sort of win, or at least he didn’t blow himself out of the water. But none of this is normal or good for the country.
