On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” Biden Campaign Co-Chair Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) said that he has told his Senate colleagues, “remember who Joe Biden is. We can’t set a bar so high that who Joe Biden’s been for 30 years can’t clear it. He’s always had a slight stutter. He’s always spoken a little off the cuff.” And that we shouldn’t “set the stakes too high” for his NATO press conference on Thursday.
Host Kaitlan Collins asked, “You’ve kind of been in this intermediary position, where, obviously, you know the President incredibly well, but also, you’re talking to all these senators, you know all of them. I’m sure they’re coming to you as well. What are you telling him about what you’re hearing from your fellow Senators?”
Collins then asked, “Tomorrow is his first solo press conference since November. When you look at the numbers, he’s done 36 news conferences to date since he’s been in office. That’s not as many as his predecessors had done. Trump had done 64 by this point, Obama, 72, Bush, 82. But he is going to be speaking tomorrow. How high do you think the stakes are for that press conference tomorrow?”
Coons responded, “I don’t think we should set the stakes too high. I think we should be looking at how he’s doing at the event today with the AFL-CIO, speaking to, obviously, a supportive group, they endorsed him, but, unscripted, no teleprompters. I hope he does well, I expect he’ll do well in the press conference tomorrow.”
