Biden news conference draws mixed reactions from anxious Dems

During a nearly hour-long news conference, President Joe Biden insisted he can do the job for another four years, but acknowledged other Democrats could win the 2024 election against Donald Trump. “I’m not in this for my legacy. I'm in this to complete the job I started,” Biden said. NBC’s Peter Alexander reports for TODAY.

[@jezballs4018]

I love that Trump is Joe's VP🙂

[@ThroughMyEyes2020]

Yea Joe will step aside for his running mate Trump to take over!

[@34XfeloniousFool]

Yup Trump is the inferior one.

[@lastditch727]

You did it Joe! You answered all the questions! Kinda... 😂

[@hstetser5376]

That was a complete train wreck. How many times did he lose his thoughts and say well, anyway

[@theTrinity431]

Yes I saw that his favorite expression is “well anyway” or “eh ehh eh anyway”

[@rockingredpoppy9119]

When have you ever seen Trump give an intelligent speech - never!

[@Linzo24]

Big boy press conference.... Does it come with a cone of ice cream afterwards?

[@katherinefullbody4635]

Is there really people who are going to vote for this guy???

[@Tay.juhWoods]

Yes. Sadly people are that far gone and brainwashed

[@Nolavibes504]

Very sadly😢

[@Tib1010]

Sad part is that most people will hate vote. I wish the Republicans would just give up this pact they have with trump and put a normal politician on that debate stage. They would win by a massive landslide but here we are dealing with these two

[@Athea34]

😂😂😂😂😂yes, the 81 millions people's. You will be surprise JOE could be winning again

[@lucindaordonez]

​@Tay.juhWoods yes, the cult of dictator trump.

[@raymondmenendez6499]

If he didn't pick a DEI running mate, the dems would have had a real candidate to full back on.

[@chrispswann6825]

You're not electing Biden to serve three months. You're electing him to serve four years. If he's in this bad a shape now, imaging what he'll be like by 2028

[@danielcrandell7533]

Exactly

[@kvnmbow]

@@chrispswann6825 the same goes for Trump. If he's this corrupt now, imagine how bad he'll be in 4 years?

[@ryanstocks8972]

Terrible performance, his "big boy" confrence was sad and embarrassing.

[@LovinLife60]

I hate that condescending smile he gives as he wanders away to avoid answering questions.

[@Anarchyacresfarmstead]

He needs to step down. Our country is not safe or even respected while he is in office. It’s an embarrassment. He needs to save whatever dignity he may have left, and step down.

[@andragreene7685]

It’s not his age,it’s his cognitive decline. He has to go.

[@arthurtaylor8170]

I never saw President Trump reading from a list of reporters to call on for scripted questions.

[@bobbleheadbob]

He also never went 8 months without talking the media. President Biden will go down in American history as the LEAST accessible president in history. Even FDR who lied about having polio and being in a wheelchair held more press conferences than Biden

[@krassimirpetrov7131]

This was a train wreck I watched the whole thing

[@yourbuddykevin]

when he whispers its so creepy.

[@MatthewsFav]

I had to stop watching this 35 minutes in. He was babbling and it's sad to watch

[@jacobclasen]

This is just sad 🤦‍♂️😂

[@spewgilist]

that whispering HFS

[@Delmarvafishing]

I dont understand how anyone including the POTUS thought that went well or anyone feels better about him running.

[@fromtheashes1657]

Let's go brandon

[@KikoBalderas]

Poor man, America deserves better. regards from Mexico.

[@289cobra9]

Biden thinks the President of Egypt is the President of Mexico.

[@steviepenn23]

He’s cooked

[@johnpinke784]

Trump is fried...he thinks he's "Hannibal Lecter"

[@3rdRangerBN]

With Trump as his VP Biden has a chance !! 😂😂😂

[@benthompson3597]

"Mixed reactions". Right.

[@donnamunday9176]

Lies and more lies so tired of the lies 😭

[@LadyMac1997]

Hi Today show, Why are you covering up for Mr. Biden? He has been in constant decline since he was elected. My, how far you have fallen. Sincerely, A former viewer

[@Phatdog5607]

How long will this go on? List the 2000 jobs you created. If you created them, list them. Why are we supporting Ukraine when their president puts his political opposition in prison. He calls out Trump for not doing anything but cheating at golf, yet Trump is not in office. This is an outrage!

[@RashaadKareem]

and they impeached trump because we asked for proof about biden’s businesses. I totally believe biden has businesses in ukraine

[@fabianatencio6634]

The disrespect when calling him putin

[@shadfletcher6815]

the disrespect...lol...zalinski is just as corrupt as Putin is,before this war started Ukraine had one of the most corrupt governments on the planet,when this war ends zalinski will be living on his yacht in florida after all of the money he steals

[@SamuelHernandez-dg9ez]

The joke of the world😂😂😂😂 USA we are laughing at you since 2020, please keep him so we can keep laughing 😂

[@mudnducs]

This mung is the best America can do?! Shame on us.

[@estherjane-m8e]

Basically it was more a campaign speech. The reason he said VP Trump was because that is what he talked about all night. One track mind. And this with pre picked press and questions.

[@hangten1904]

This is the same conference where Biden called Kamala Harris as Vice President Trump and introduced Zelensky as President Putin.

[@jimmy5634]

Mixed reactions? What’s mixed about him being looney tunes. If that were Trump the media would lose their minds trying to tear him up. The Trump golf joke is puke-worthy and already old. Nice whisper …what a fool.

[@squashcustom]

Teleprompter😂😂😂

[@martyglennie1235]

Creepy whispers

[@ThroughMyEyes2020]

Anyway...

[@phatgringo2.0]

Awkward

[@theTrinity431]

Looks like Zelenskyy took dressing advice from Fetterman. What a disgrace to show up at summit and be the only one not wearing a suit. He’s stolen enough money to have a full time tailor .

[@RashaadKareem]

Biden didn’t say the tweet. Thats what we been getting is biden’s social media strategist.

[@GeniusChazz444]

Whoever is still behind Biden 🤒

[@zoom777]

Circus

[@jamesrene9378]

Why does he whisper? Is that supposed to make it seem like he’s aware? Go Trump!

[@vincestapels2022]

81 Million votes guys... 😅😂😅😂

[@LoveWins.100]

Democracy over dictatorship! Vote blue for democracy! 💙💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@derekh1593]

From the party that voted against the SAVE act that prevents citizens from other countries in the U.S. illegally to vote 😂🤣😂

[@jacklame2299]

PLEASE KEEP BIDEN ON THE TICKET!!!!!!!! He is so sharp, especially when he whispers 🤣

[@denverparsons7330]

A lot of people are saying there is no way he could win…

[@marcosadrian20]

So, he said his vp is not qualified to be president? Looks like he’s fighting with his own people.

[@heidiperez1387]

We are the laughing stock of every other country!🤦‍♀️

[@candicecausey4960]

The "Big Boy" conference lol XD good boy Joe, you answered all the questions! and what did the media do? LIE! That's right XD oh Jill, you've become a meme haha

[@darqentries]

Abject horror is more like it.

[@andragreene7685]

I’ll take Newsome over Biden

[@36whitedove]

I wonder if a time will come when men of honour and wisdom and true intellect shall run for presidency.

[@denisenoonan1089]

He did unite Republicans and Democrats! We all agree he needs to step down. Really sad

[@chrispswann6825]

The 2000 election was between GW Bush and Al Gore. Ironically both those men are younger than Biden and Trump. Yes, the two candidates who ran for President 24 years ago are younger than the two candidates that are currently running. Let that sink in

[@Lillith1203]

Many of us have had or have a relative that is struggling with dementia, some of us work in the medical field and see it on a daily basis. We all know the signs, the progression and the outcome. What we dont know is how fast it will progress with each patient. From beginning to end, the average is 8 years. From what we have seen the last 3.5 years. Biden has a history of 2 brain aneurysms back in 1988. This makes the progression time shorter.

[@phatgringo2.0]

[@amaley9176]

As a Pennsylvania voter, I’m going with RFK Jr. I refuse to believe these idiots are our only two choices

[@dougelledge4042]

From Jim Crow to Transgender. We Need Help LORD.

[@jihandelavictoria732]

Let him rest what a poor man

[@Tqt50]

Let Trump be his VP. That will make Trump a President very soon lol

[@Futurelight-gv5dn]

He is really losing it.

[@indoornepenthes7809]

Where's all the Joe Biden lovers now. Theyve been mighty quiet the past few days 🤣🤣🤣

[@cutebird23]

Oh my goodness 😭

[@chrispswann6825]

"I'm in this to complete the job I started" What specific job is he talking about? Politics? That job is never going to be completed.

[@VeteransForTruth]

Joe and Staff advisory GIVE IT UP AND CAPITULATE

[@JD-ck9xf]

It was a good news conference. Did it alleviate concern about his age? For the short term "maybe" for the "next 4 years"? No.

[@mr.coolmug3181]

🙂 _'No one's saying that. No poll says that.'_ 🙃

[@billbonu1639]

Exactly what negative effects did Trump's first term have on your lives?

[@starrbright6803]

Jim, he will stay in the race. You do your job and support the president instead of comiting on the negative are you democrat or republican.

[@rfi-cryptolab4251]

Would you let him drive a car with your kids in it? Yeah, didn't think so!

[@tamimoncrief2264]

I love that Joe is handing the presidency to Trump

[@Justsay_n]

Let's Go Biden! You got this!

[@Pinkyjojo29]

Trump is out playing golf while Biden is busy destroying the democrats 😅😅😅😅

[@TommytheDuke69]

You did good Joe. You answered all the questions.

[@XX-td3lv]

Let’s stop with the age excuse. Let’s go with a decline in memory cognition. I n ow 80 and 90 year olds that are still sharp.

[@OmahaJames1013]

I think as the incumbent he need support you don't replace the incumbent ever

[@289cobra9]

Ukraine President Putin and US VP Trump approves this message.

Oh he is so great! Just look at your living expenses. Oh and lets wisper

[@j_nightshade]

Not convinced

[@alexg5457]

Biden: I am ready to go toe to toe with any world leader. Biden: The last time I spoke with Putin our conversation didn’t go anywhere.

[@rockjen20]

Seriously, a vegetable looks smarter than Biden.

[@bartz4439]

you lost conference against yourself mate...

[@mtb416]

Vote Trump if you care about this country

[@max4377]

[@geekweidman]

What a creepy old man

[@Manderz3026]

Jesus take the wheel!

Stop! President Biden is We the People choice! No matter your Fascism Opinion.

"If we can convince people that Trump is literally Hitler, maybe we can convince them to vote for a dementia patient." "Well, might as well give it a shot at this point."- The DNC and MSM

President PUTTIN ?

Media and maga stillllll talking about joe quitting shows FEAR.😂 If everyone really thought T could win they'd just let that landslide win happen... But look what they're doing instead... begging him to quit😂 It's so freaking obvious 👍

He did that on purpose.

He's not wrong.....

@@jotstrucking5628 And he says Biden's leadership would lead us into world war 2.

[@brunojones2308]

A hr long wait

[@kathybelanger2092]

I laugh to think about Trump answering even one of those questions. Trump is not an Option!! Biden and Democracy, or Trump, Autocracy, and his Manifesto Project 2025? If you haven't already, be sure to google it! Hmmm, the choice seems pretty simple to me. Who amongst us hasn't made a guffaw or two?

[@m.schetr7398]

Stop watching MSNBC... everything you said I'd not true. Joe did make Trump his VP😂😂😂
