The Spin
Narrative A
This was a forceful address from US Pres. Joe Biden. He made compelling remarks about the importance of NATO and why it was crucial to continue supporting Ukraine until Russia was defeated in this conflict. It will no doubt convince foreign leaders, as well as his own electorate, that he's still up to the task of leading the US.
Narrative B
While Biden appeared much more energized than in the debate against Trump, it will be hard to erase the memory of that awful performance. Besides, these were scripted remarks that were read off a teleprompter. Biden has another day and a half of events to attend — some of them unscripted — so he is far from being out of the woods yet.
