David, I traveled with him to Latin America and Angola, and he answered two shouted questions during both of those trips. Answer two shouted questions, you know.
I thought that was his most clear acknowledgement of what many Democrats had been fearing. You know, one thing I would often hear is it's not necessarily that he's 82 years old. It's what happens when he's 86, what happens at the end of a second term, and does he have the ability to fully carry out that service? And here you saw him acknowledging that concern as well.

I also think he was speaking to we've been reporting a lot on just Biden's sort of mood and his mindset in these final months. And there's been frustration. He does believe that that he had the ability to beat Trump if he had stayed at the top of the ticket. He's also very reflective right now.

And I think the USA Today interview, you know, showed that he's in this period where he's reflecting on his long career, but also thinking about what could have been if he hadn't dropped out. But to be clear, I mean, most polling does, you know, throw doubt on the fact that he had the ability to beat Trump.

That was the most striking thing for me. Maggie is just seeing not just Obama, but also Biden and really all of these leaders sitting together, you know, in a way you have a collision of institutionalists and traditionalists fighting facing somebody that for years they have called a threat to democracy and who many of their also supporters believe is a threat to democracy.

But now you're in this period where your commitment to the institution rises above its seams.
