1. Give him credit for getting out there.

[Sympthsical]

2. If he does well at the press conference, it will help

A full day of important NATO activity and then doing the press conference.

I hope his team is behaving behind the scenes. If they're trying to control the kinds of questions asked and who asks them, then any positive effect could by stymied. See: that radio interview kerfuffle.

Because you know any hints in that direction will leak before you've poured your Friday morning coffee.

Just put the President out there and let him deal with what comes.

[Johonny]

3. Biden will spend all day with our allies

With the Ukraine under an active attack, and we all know the first million press questions will be if he is resigning . . . Our media, garbage.
