1. Are the calls really growing though?

Other than George Clooney, I can't think of anyone new who has called for him to drop out in the last few days.

2. I heard about a few senators last night, don't know if they changed their minds today

Which was particularly disappointing since they were all Democratic senators I liked.

3. He's killing it!!

Give em hell, Joe!!

4. Sure sounds like it to me!

5. Agreed. This should squash the uprising.

7. Might Not

I am not sure this will squash the uprising, but yes, he is doing a fairly good job. Especially the question about whether or not and why VP Harris could take over on day one. Do not get me wrong, I am not a part of the uprising, but I am not sure this will stop it.

6. Fuck Clooney. Biden is doing fine.

Clooney is a fucking opportunistic asshole.

8. I was away from the house for the live performance, & am not sure if either MSNBC or YouTube will replay

Tried both, but they just say “stand by for live performance.” Do you know?

9. Looks like the Wall Street Journal video of the president's speech still works:

Biden Addresses Calls To Exit Presidential Race at High-Stakes NATO Press Conference - WSJ

10. TY

11. Joe did great. I didn't stick around for the Q&A, though

[Rhiannon12866]

12. Oh, I couldn't agree more!

Though there was one misstep, said Putin when he meant Zelenskyy and immediately corrected himself, so we had to hear about that.
