This is embarrassing. He can't even answer softball questions from media who give him lame questions. His handlers must have been cringing during his answers.

Pre screened questions with responses right in front of him and he still got lost? I guess this is what fortified results look like?

[cannaladyrvlife]

Weak. We need independent news. This was garbage.

[johnbiden]

Now I remember why I don't watch this news bye

[JohnA]

That was a dog and pony show. How long has he been rehearsing that. List of reporters he would call on with known questions that he would respond to. That was a joke except half of the nation is not laughing.

Disgraceful coverage of the criminal who hardly said anything with his dead brain

[dianawoodrow]

American people deserve and demand better.

It should not have taken an hour to say: Trump's fault, I don't know what I'm doing, and I'm campaigning for 2024!

Can you imagine Biden retires, Kamala takes over, she barely got 1% of vote, that is sad

[ericwinnick]

Im surprised he’s made it this long. Surely one would’ve thought the 25th would’ve been used by now

[kevinwesley]

How can you sleep at night lieing to the public

[hoboroller]

It was like watching a bad high School play 😎

[higavin]

I watched the press party, that's what it was. No hard questions, people were obviously pre picked, he had his answers prepared. No follow up questions, no hard questions. And CBS News ignored all of the "home cooking. He lost his place at least 3 times, no one else noticed.

[juanprado]

What happened to the serious question real questions done why we saw a weak president

[brittbent]

I support Tucker: make Joe Biden take a cognitive test!

[ointment]

Soft ball questions. The only one that was missing was"what's your favourite colour Joe" no doubt CBS will be asking that one in 6 months time when Joe does his next press briefing.

[simonrodgers]

"Alot to unpack here ." Yes .clown shoes... clown suit ...wig ...red nose .... makeup ...ladder ...bucket of water Joe the Press are ready for you now "

[josephradgowski]

Wrong guy for this job. The mistake has been made now we live with it for his term. Our bad.

[diane]

WHY does elderly Joe care more for non-citizens than Americans?!? JILL please remind JOE that he is there to help Americans.
