He's on teleprompter, not an encouraging sign so far.

Two sentences in and Biden has already stuttered.
— Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) July 11, 2024
This has become a campaign speech, and it’s a very inappropriate setting for this sort of partisanship. Off putting.
— Noah Rothman (@NoahCRothman) July 11, 2024
He already has Donald Trump dismantling NATO and killing that awesome "bipartisan" Ukraine aid package with some cash for border security tacked on.
Holy shit Biden is politicizing a NATO speech

Grocery prices are coming down. That's news.
This is a campaign speech.

Biden is not stepping down today.
There are a LOT of seconds between today and tomorrow, however.
Uh-oh … he just called Kamala Harris "Vice President Donald Trump."
Biden just called Vice President Kamala Harris "Vice President Trump."

Biden at most important presser of his life: I've been given a list of people to call on.
— Mike LaChance (@MikeLaChance33) July 11, 2024
"I've been given a list of reporters to call on." There it is. He's not in charge. We all know it.

ABC News reporter:
This isn’t perfect but it is more than enough to keep him in the race.

The clips are devastating and that's all people will consume of this

Super low bar, after all.

Is Harris qualified to be president? "She's qualified … that's why I picked her."
Biden: "Look, I wouldn't have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president if I didn't think she's not qualified to be president, so we'll start there." pic.twitter.com/ib4WwC27pR

How can Biden assure Americans he won't have more "bad nights"? Because he's getting the job done.
Biden's proof that he's fine and not at-risk of having another bad night is that 2K jobs were created in the country last week???
— AG (@AGHamilton29) July 11, 2024
"I created 2000 jobs just last week" -- um that's not many?

Biden “I love my staff, but they add things. They add things at the end. I’m catching hell from my wife for that”
What?!?!

So far it’s President Putin and Vice President Trump.

Runnin’ those WH aides ragged with my mental clarity and probing questions really takes it out of a guy.
It's not a bad night, but it's not good.

"Fifty nations … fifty-five zero."
This isn't a put-up job question at all from the Polish guy.
— John Podhoretz (@jpodhoretz) July 11, 2024
Did the Polish news reporter get his question from Joe Biden's campaign team? Oof.
— Jason Rantz on KTTH Radio (@jasonrantz) July 11, 2024
Good lord, the White House wrote this question, right? Pathetic.
— Derek Hunter (@derekahunter) July 11, 2024
Biden confuses 4 weeks with 5 months.
— Stephen L. Miller (@redsteeze) July 11, 2024
Biden just confused Russia for China. He's done this about 5 times now while talking about both countries. China, fighting in Ukraine? Cool story, bro.
— Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) July 12, 2024
Holy shit what is going on. Biden just started yelling incoherently about guns.
— Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) July 12, 2024
Angry Biden just showed up.

"Control guns, not girls" is the dumbest line of the night. So far.

He started off rough and he’s still having rough patches…but this is good enough to keep him in the race. Which is terrible news for Democrats and excellent news for Trump.
— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) July 12, 2024
Biden is doing well enough to pushback on Dems, but not well enough to eliminate concerns about his age and cognitive decline.
— AG (@AGHamilton29) July 12, 2024
Will be interesting to see how Dems respond.
They say that President Biden took questions for 45 minutes and almost didn't have any gaffes.
He's definitely running.
