Biden candidacy could hinge on high-stakes press conference

Politico columnist Jonathan Martin talks with Alex Wagner about the calculations within the Democratic Party over whether Joe Biden should continue as the party's choice against Donald Trump in 2024, and points to this week's press conference as an important moment for Biden to lay concerns to rest with a strong performance or else face renewed calls to step aside.

good grief, what's up with Jonathan?!?! It' s like he's trying really hard to seem sober to a cop who pulled him over swerving in traffic.... Sober up, pal

[ColbyONE]

Makes no difference if Biden does great, decent, or bad at the press conference. When you find yourself holding your breath EVERY SINGLE TIME he takes the stage, it’s over.

[GTCCreviews]

This dude did a fat line before coming on this show

[freddiealvaa]

This guy looks drunk 🤣🤣🤣 what is happening Alex?!?

[peterpanek]

Everything is high stakes to the lame stream media. Makes me vomit.

[stansmith]

Did Jonathan just wake up? He seems to be under the influence. Very disappointing.

[TheNaturalust]

I thought it hinged on the debate, then it hinged on his after debate interview, now youre giving him a pass till a press conference? NO WAY! EVERY SINGLE TIME he is forced to think and talk he FAILS! ENOUGH! No more Joe, please!

[robbyb]

Jeez John take it easy on the blow and give some to your Pres

[windorsolarplease]

I will vote for a person who cares about us peons than a person who uses the Supreme Court and Presidency to end his legal problems.

[robertbirch]

Let's have another debate it would be great

[mvyyxio]

The tweaker vibes are off the scale with this one 😂

[robertmatthews]

High-stakes press conference?
The White House is calling it a 'Big Boy' press conference.

[Mrchair]

That dude looks like he literally rolled out of bed lol.

[Punisher]

Trump stopped talking cause biden shut him up. 😂

[rude]

The dude in the tan coat looks tank out his mind!
One too many shots.

[kenc]

Trump is destroying the democrat party 🤣

[MomentsInTrading]

Just because they own a political spin site, that doesn’t make this tweaker’s opinion relevant. Do another line and be quiet!

[mr.t]

It amazes me why the media only stresses about Biden’s age now when it’s been apparent for years on his cognitive decline but only after the debate do they realize it.

[PatrickOCnMD]

His disease is NOT going away. He will NOT get better. Effort in futility.

The TDS crowd is now hitting the bottle hard😅😅
