President Joe Biden’s first presser since his lackluster debate performance has received mixed reviews so far.

While there were no glaring flubs or stutters (save Vice President Trump), the president’s showing Thursday did not sway the public completely. After a week of some of the president’s closest confidants calling for him to step away from the nation’s top office, the president remained firm in his decision to “defeat Donald Trump.”

The former president among others criticized the president’s “big boy press conference,” with Trump even saying the president has “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

Others praised Biden for his composure and proficiency on foreign policy issues, a skill Biden was often lauded for as a senator, saying he was “in his element.”
