Joe Biden’s upcoming solo press conference might just be the moment that defines his whole campaign. With calls for him to step down getting louder and his party’s prospects looking grim, this could be his make-it-or-break-it moment.
His decision to hold the press conference late in the afternoon, after the NATO meeting, shows just how carefully orchestrated his campaign is. After promising governors that he wouldn’t hold events past 8 p.m., one can only wonder if our enemies are taking note of our President’s bedtime.

The pressure is on. This press conference marks his first solo appearance since last November, with previous joint conferences being tightly controlled affairs. The stakes are high as Biden tries to flip the narrative following a lackluster debate performance that has even his own party questioning his viability against Trump.
The Democrats are in a tough spot. On one hand, they know a weakened Biden could hand Trump a landslide victory. On the other, publicly backing a Biden exit could lead to chaos at the convention and invite brutal infighting within the party. They’re caught between a rock and a hard place, with no easy way out.
The crisis engulfing the Democratic Party isn’t just about Biden holding onto the nomination. It’s about the vulnerability he presents to Trump and the Republicans. If Biden falters, the Democrats will have handed their opponents a treasure trove of attack ads and ammunition for the upcoming election. It’s a mess of their own making, one that could have been avoided if Biden had the humility to step aside earlier.
