Amazing to watch the big right-wing propaganda machine roll. They can’t paint @JoeBiden as “radical” or “socialist,” so they instead paint him as clueless and senile. Biden was in command of that presser today but the predictable braying on the right was that he was out of it. — PolitiTweet.org

The @POTUS navigated his presser well, keeping focus on his priorities, touting progress on the virus and recovery, and generally avoiding making big news on other subjects. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

It was telling that the WH tweeted this line during the press conference. It was was the through line he sought to drive throughout his press conference. He is focused on COVID, economic recovery and rebuilding the country’s infrastructure. — PolitiTweet.org

“But folks, I’m going!” And then he was gone. — PolitiTweet.org

Ha! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The @POTUS would have been foolish to confer immediate lame duck status on himself, two months in, by doing anything other than saying he is planning to run in ‘24. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Clearly, that’s not true. But, truthfully, didn’t you wish Trump had read his answers more often, @IngrahamAngle, or are you just a total Chlorox-drinker? — PolitiTweet.org

“Here’s the deal. I’m a pretty practical guy. I’ve never been particularly poor at getting things done in the senate. (Translation: He doesn’t have votes to axe filibuster.) — PolitiTweet.org

@POTUS: Filibuster is being abused in a gigantic way, grown in use by five times. — PolitiTweet.org

Here we go. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The @POTUS is thus far dodging the filibuster question like an old matador dodging a bull. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

“It happens every single, solitary year,” @Potus says in answer to Q about whether kids are crossing border because he’s seen as a “nice guy.” Noting such crossings were up 28% this yea & 31% last year. “Did anyone ever suggest that they were coming because Trump was a nice guy?” — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

What will the news out of this presser be? That’s the tug-of-war of any presidential press conference. Is it the story the @POTUS wants to drive-in this case, progress on COVID & the economy-or will it skid off in another direction because of an unexpected Q/unintended answer? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

“Running White House messaging is like driving a high-performance race car. The machine is powerful but it is easy at any moment to spin off the track.” As Biden prepares to take the podium, my thoughts on the perils of presidential press conferences. https://t.co/hEQEFICvAJ — PolitiTweet.org

We lost a very good man this week. The Rev. Jim Wall was for years the editor of The Christian Century but I knew him as Democratic activist. He was Jimmy Carter’s man in Illinois. I worked with him to help elect Sen. Paul Simon. Thoughtful & wise, he will be missed! https://t.co/xY06R5f5H6 — PolitiTweet.org
