Biden holding major press conference amid calls to end 2024 campaign

President Biden is holding a highly anticipated solo press conference Thursday evening in hopes it will assuage the ongoing concerns Democratic lawmakers have voiced about his fitness for office and campaign viability. CBS News intelligence and national security reporter Olivia Gazis has more.

So taking questions is a "Major test" now huh? Setting the bar pretty low. Pathetic.

Shouldn’t a President take questions on EVERY public appearance?

[Thrawn]

Why doesn't Biden take questions from reporters very often? Oh wait, we all know. We all fricken know.

[mattgraves]

Can people get real about this? He is unfit and should have already been relieved of could nancy pelosi be sober for just one interview?

What’s interesting about this clip with Nancy Pelosi is she says that she’s waiting for him to make a decision. He’s already decided to run. He doesn’t need to decide anything. I think she saying that they are waiting for him to say he’s quitting.

This is so weak. The President of the United States should do several press conferences and take questions after every single one, several times a month!!

Why can’t Trump be right. He has a point. It’s screwing us at home. Spend that $ on America.

Ive always been concerned about presidents after retirement age. The Office requires vigor and mental clarity.

If I might add, political integrity has been absconding from justice for centuries. Since Washington held Office, Treaty Alliances, War Policies and Overreaching Land Doctrines have infested The Office with Iniquity?

Iniquity's root meaning: injustice, not equal.

Example of vigor and mental clarity: Washington as a mantled General miraculously helped deliver Freedom to A Newly Conceived Nation dedicated to the proposition That All Blood Covenant Men/People are developed/maintained/created equally (Inalienable God Secured Right).

As a politician, Washington violated That spirit of the law that released, harmonized and illumined newness of invigorating life with mental clarity. Note: after retirement, Washington perished from a throat infection he acquired from going out in the damp cold without a coat, at an advanced age.

Integrity matters. Iniquity moves in the opposite direction of Establishing (Equal) Justice and Providing for The Common Defense.

For those with ambitions to lead an America to healing, vigor and mental clarity, histories relational and chronological context is vitally important. America wasn't a nation 400 years ago.

If there were allowed to be debates like they have always had. We would've seen this long ago. Kennedy and west would still be democrats and Bernie probably would've ran against Trump.

Just choose Beavis & Butthead for Democratic Pres & VP. They would obviously do better than Biden & Harris !!!

[coreynasfell]

When time and energy goes to questioning POTUS’ health, think of all of the important matters getting neglected.

No one cares what Clooney thinks, he lives in Italy, keep your opinions there.

[alooga]

What's wrong with VP Harris? She is the best DEI hire who checked every box.

[wolfnorth]

How could CBS stop doing its job for so long? What is the date for CBS asking directly to Joe Biden and getting the non scripted answer?

CBS should be ashamed for itself.

Rest in peace.😮

Liberal media are making excuses in advance. Oh, he’s had such a long week with this NATO conference, etc. etc. please.

[Dannamal-hcpu]

"A big boy conference" they say😂

[AngryPug]

Someone, anyone, ask him exactly how he “beat Medicare.”

[latebloomer]

Correspondent in pink - there's no such word as "stanch". The word you were looking for is " staunch", as in 'Let's staunch the bleeding'.

[philsito]

You might be able to take questions? But can he answer them so that people understand his answers?

[neiljohnson]

Well, if they time his amphetamine right this time, maybe he’ll get through it. In all seriousness, three years ago or so when he would stop on a word and then divert to another word constantly… It reminded me of my father who had primary aphasia and later developed frontal lobe, dementia, at this point I still see my father in Biden… It’s sad, but it is what it is. Also, I’ve noticed he’s not only getting lost, the beginning and ending of each word he pronounces gets muddled at times. To me this seems like a more recent development. he could speak an entire sentence that has 20 words and the 15 words in the middle all run together.
