Joe Biden has one more chance to quiet the growing calls for him to drop out of the 2024 race and reverse the momentum that is carrying him and his party to disaster.
Biden will hold a late afternoon press conference at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday following the wrap-up of the NATO meeting in Washington. He can’t hold the presser in prime time because he promised the governors he met with in D.C. last week that he would no longer hold campaign events after 8 p.m.
This means that if we’re ever attacked, we must ensure the enemy knows our president needs his sleep and can’t be disturbed after 8 p.m.
The stakes couldn’t be higher. It’s Biden’s first solo presser since last November, although he has taken part in several joint press conferences after meeting various world leaders. Those are highly scripted affairs, with the president answering only two or three questions.
While Biden’s position in the polls hasn’t completely collapsed, his political position in Washington has gotten very dicey. Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, when asked on MSNBC whether she still supported Biden, said it was « up to the president to decide if he is going to run » and that she wants him to « do whatever he decides to do.
