A CNN focus group of battleground state Democratic voters offered positive reviews of President Biden following his solo press conference Thursday.CNN’s Gary Tuchman spoke with a group of seven women at a senior leisure center in Kalamazoo, Michigan, describing them as « liking » Biden and non-Trump voters. When asked, five of them thought the press conference went « better than expected » while two thought it was what they expected. None thought he did worse than expected.  One woman who was « undecided » about whether Biden should stay in the race told Tuchman she was « relieved » by Biden’s performance. »I think he should stay in, » she said, shifting her position. »I think he’s the logical choice, » said a second woman, who was also « undecided » about Biden staying in the race, but threw her support behind Biden.BIDEN’S HIGH-STAKES SOLO PRESS CONFERENCE SLAMMED FROM THE RIGHT AS ‘ANOTHER DISASTER’A third voter, who before the press conference thought Biden should « pass the torch, » still felt that way after, telling Tuchman, « I think he conveyed more defensiveness versus confidence. And I think we are craving to be able to be confident about the candidate that we carry into the November election. »A fourth voter said « all [her] confidence » in Biden has held steady, saying « everybody has a bad day and I could see that he was sick, » admitting following through with the debate might have been a « bad choice. » »At the heart of it, he’s a strong guy, » the voter told Tuchman. BIDEN STAGES HOUR-LONG PRESS CONFERENCE, TAKES MULTIPLE QUESTIONS IN BID TO ALLAY FEARS OVER MENTAL DECLINEA fifth voter agreed with that sentiment, adding, « Joe Biden is very caring about people. He’s very knowledgeable and experienced. And he’s not just out for himself, that he really cares about the country. » »There’s no chance that you would be more confident with Kamala Harris or your governor here Whitmer in the state of Michigan? » Tuchman asked. »Right. Yeah, » the voter responded. « I think Joe Biden did an excellent job… I’ve always been confident. »NBC’S CHUCK TODD SAYS BIDEN’S ‘ENTIRE NARRATIVE’ WILL ERODE IF HE STAYS IN THE RACE: ‘HIS AMBITION COMES FIRST’There were several moments in the presser when Biden raised eyebrows, including when he referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as « Vice President Trump » and said, « I’m following the advice of my commander-in-chief, » when he meant to say the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Shortly before the press conference, he mistakenly called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy « President Putin. »The press conference came as turmoil continues within the Democratic Party over whether Biden should keep running or step aside following his disastrous debate performance last month.
