Despite this, Klain insisted that it was only a fluke. And to prove it, he expressed confidence that Biden would have another debate against former President Donald Trump before the election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSometimes presidents have bad debates. And I promise you he\u2019ll have a better second debate,\u201d Klain said in an appearance on MSNBC\u2019s <em>Morning Joe<\/em>. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd, you know, I think that the president showed \u2014 showed what he\u2019s capable of last night in this press conference,\u201d he continued, referring to Biden\u2019s NATO press conference. \u201cAnd the voters see it every day as he governs, leads the county, and campaigns around the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s performance at the press conference, during which he took questions from reporters, was widely seen as better than the debate performance but still beset by gaffes. At one point, he confused Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris and, hours before he introduced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as Russian President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n<p>But Biden\u2019s allies held up the press conference as proof that the president is still mentally fit for office, waving off concerns of many prominent Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>Klain played a major role in Biden\u2019s preparation for the first debate with Trump and has been a member of the president\u2019s prep teams in the past. On Friday, he tacked Biden\u2019s poor performance on to a cold and previous travel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook, I thought, as the president said, he had a bad night,\u201d he said. \u201cHis practices were better. And he was tired from all the back-and-forth travel around the world and was suffering from a cold that really constrained his voice and his ability to be forceful in the debate. And he was trying not to lose his voice, which was \u2014 it was very scratchy and very impacted by his cold. But the president is absolutely sharp, fit, on top of his game. People can see that for themselves. You don\u2019t have to take my word for it. You could \u2014 people could see that for themselves last night in the press conference.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though Biden and his team have cited exhaustion over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/john-kerry-issues-urgent-call-time-for-another-climate-summit\/\" title=\"John Kerry Issues Urgent Call: Time for Another Climate Summit\">constant global travel<\/a> as the reason for his debate performance, the president returned from traveling nearly two weeks before the debate.<\/p>\n<p>Klain\u2019s confidence shows a reinvigorated Biden team after the NATO press conference, following the despair over the debate and ensuing calls for the president to step down. Other Democrats aren\u2019t convinced, with one Democratic aide telling <em>Politico<\/em> that the result of the conference was \u201cthe worst of all worlds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was \u201cdamaging for [Biden\u2019s] prospects, but not so bad it [that] provides enough fodder to use this to dump him from the ticket,\u201d the aide said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another veteran Democratic operative told the outlet that his performance at the press conference has left the party in \u201cpurgatory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter the first gaffe, President Biden\u00a0spoke confidently on foreign policy issues with command. The problem is that\u00a0he left us in purgatory,\u201d the operative said. \u201cCandidates and campaigns are supposed to make you feel something, hope, optimism, courage, but instead most of us felt nothing after that presser.
