Biden press conference shows he’s a capable president. Sorry, pundits.

Greetings, I am an American Political Pundit Man, and I am here to judge President Joe Biden’s performance at Thursday night’s NATO press conference and let you know whether the incumbent president should be allowed to continue his run for reelection.
Since Biden’s disastrous presidential debate performance, I and my colleagues in the League of Punditry have determined unequivocally that Joe must go. That is because we are accurately and unfailingly able to predict the future and we are also eager to get down to the business of explaining why whoever might replace Biden is also very bad. 
But, because we are kind and merciful, we gave Biden one final press conference to prove himself worthy.
To our dismay, it went pretty well. He answered complex foreign-policy questions intelligently, responded quickly and stubbornly continued to be alive throughout the event. He had some verbal gaffes – accidentally calling Vice President Kamala Harris “Vice President Trump” after earlier in the day calling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy “President Putin” – but he had a clear handle on the issues at a depth his opponent could never achieve.
And Trump has messed up names more times than we can count. Not that we would call on him to step down if he did. That would be boring.

During Thursday night’s long press conference, Biden said: “Name me a world leader who wouldn’t want to trade places with our economy. … Things are moving. We’ve got more to go. Working-class people still need help. Corporate greed is still at large.”
He added: “I’m not in this for my legacy. I’m in this to complete the job I started.”
Biden? Harris?I don’t care. Stopping Trump and Project 2025 is all that matters.
Fine, President Biden. We, the extremely important and knowledgeable pundits of America, will allow you to continue. But if you want us to stop calling for you to step aside, you’re going to have to pass the following additional tests:
Only then will we, the proud pundits of America, declare you fit to be the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee.
Please don’t disappoint us by succeeding.
