Biden To Have “Big Boy” Press Conference At 530pm Thursday

July 11, 2024 – 10:30 am

Update: they’ve moved it to 630, which gives him an out to bolt at 645pm to get ready for bed. He’ll still probably be 15-20 minutes late

Seriously, a “big boy” press conference. He should be booted simply for his people dubbing it that

Embattled Biden to give high-stakes press conference

US President Joe Biden will Thursday give his first press conference since his debate disaster against Donald Trump, in a pressure-cooker moment that could seal the fate of his reelection bid.

The eyes of the world will be on the 81-year-old at a NATO summit as he tries to calm growing calls from his Democratic party to step aside over his age and health.

The White House has dubbed it a “big boy” press conference, and Biden will be under severe pressure to show he can handle what has become a rare unscripted moment in his presidency.

Any missteps by Biden at the 5.30 pm (2130 GMT) event at a Washington DC conference center could turn the trickle of Democrats who have so far urged him to abandon his 2024 election bid into a flood. (snip)

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has repeatedly promised Thursday’s “big boy press conference” — a phrase first used by a journalist that she has since adopted — will feature multiple questions.

A poor performance will pour fuel on the flames of the concerns about Biden’s age and health that were sparked when he appeared listless and often incoherent against Republican Trump, 78.

How the White House correspondents haven’t laid into her with derision and laughter is beyond me. It’s treating Joe like a child about to give a speech to a city council. If Biden has to have a make or break PC to prove he’s not feeble minded it’s a pretty good indicator that he’s feeble minded. Are there conditions for this PC? Will he be given the questions in advance? Will he have answers on note cards? Will he only call on uber-friendly reporters? How many questions will he actually take?

Seriously, how sad is it that the White House is making a bid deal out of the POTUS doing a press conference? Joe has been in office all but four years since 1973. Remember, they mostly hid him during the 2020 election season. You almost hate to see this, trotting this man up there to do a PC. It’s elder abuse. But, people will be watching this for the same reason they watch car races: crashes.

People says he was saying “talking to your wife”, but, you listen and decide how bad the slurring was. Two more below the fold

I’m almost afraid to tune in to the PC. I hate watching cringe TV shows and movies. I always loved the way Psych would often get right to the edge of going cringe, then back off. I’ll give it an 80% chance this does not go well. If it does, he should be immediately drug tested.
