(UPDATED 7:19 PM Eastern Daylight Time)

The White House has announced that the press conference will now start at 7:30 P.M. We'll see if that holds.

White House now saying a 7:30 start time for this Biden press conference - so two hours after it was originally scheduled. Everything going according to plan for, you know, the most important moment of Biden’s presidency.

(ORIGINAL POST)

As the nation sits waiting for President Joe Biden's "Big Boy" press conference live from the NATO summit in Washington, D.C., to begin, it was announced that the start time has now been pushed back to 7 P.M. Eastern.

The press conference was initially scheduled for 5:30 P.M. Eastern, then pushed back to 6:30 P.M. After Biden made a major flub, introducing Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky as "President Putin" that start time was pushed back to 7 P.M:

President Biden's press conference here this evening is now estimated to be around 7 p.m.

Note that the Bloomberg reporter said "around" 7 P.M. That's not exactly a confident assessment of when Biden will be camera-ready:

This delay also comes as reports circulate that the Democrats are assessing the viability of Vice President Kamala Harris as a candidate against Donald Trump.
