Biden should do more press conferences; he was GREAT today!

Ripped the Rs for taking an unearned 2 week vacation when the world is, basically, falling apart. Showed real leadership in his comments about Navalny, Putin, and the ongoing talks with Israel.

I almost think he should face the press daily. He has a lot of material to work with. What a contrast between him and cheato. One has the weight of the world on his shoulders with no help from the R's at all, and one is being tried on 91 felony counts and spends his days whining.

Lots of good stuff to talk about. Will be good prep for debates. He can also have some control over the daily news cycle.

compared to their horrible behavior at the one after the Hur report in which they were so angry and overwrought that they came across as unhinged. I think that if he does them more often, it will less of a "big deal", he will get better at doing them, and as others have suggested, he can have more control over the news cycle.
