RECAP: Biden press conference

President Biden, in a pivotal news conference designed to save his candidacy, showed moments of fluency and command of detail as he parried questions from journalists, but also stumbled over words, conflated names and at times gave meandering answers. The result was a mixed performance in a much-anticipated event that many Democrats had been anxiously awaiting to see if Biden could allay their fears about his age, mental agility and ability to defeat Republican Donald Trump. The reaction of those Democrats in coming days could clarify the course of Biden’s candidacy and whether he will be able to withstand mounting calls from within his party to step aside. In one of the more jarring moments, Biden mistakenly referred to Vice President Harris as “Vice President Trump.” The flub came hours after a separate event during the NATO summit in Washington when Biden introduced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as Russian President Vladimir Putin, immediately correcting himself. In an indication that the news conference would not halt the calls for him to end his candidacy, three additional Democrats—Reps. Jim Himes of Connecticut, Scott Peters of California and Eric Sorensen of Illinois — issued statements urging him to withdraw shortly after it ended. That followed four members of Congress who had called on him to step aside earlier Thursday before the event began. The news conference was ostensibly scheduled to mark the end of the 75th annual NATO summit in Washington, but it was immediately dominated by questions over Biden’s advanced age and precarious political standing after a June 27 presidential debate, when he struggled to complete some thoughts and fumbled answers on a range of issues.
