Facing intense scrutiny, President Joe Biden welcomed world leaders to Washington as he continues to face open doubts from members of the Democratic party over his ability to serve. NBC’s Peter Alexander reports for TODAY.
WASHINGTON — After his dismal debate performance, President Joe Biden set out to prove to voters and Democratic leaders alike that he’s not the befuddled politician they may have seen onstage that night. He has given a few interviews, spoken at rallies and mixed with union members and Black churchgoers. On Thursday, he'll hold a news conference, and Monday he is to be interviewed by NBC News’ Lester Holt.
A town hall-style event is another way presidents have typically sought to escape the insularity of the West Wing and hear from real voters, with the news media able to watch the exchanges. The last two Democratic presidents, Obama and Bill Clinton, held a slew of town hall events during their time in office. After the debate, some lawmakers called upon Biden to hold a town hall so the nation could see him fielding unvetted questions in real time.
