President Biden’s leadership: “underestimated”

“The one thing about the President is he has been around this international track many, many, many times. And he is really aware of the fact that this war, is being played – this theater of war is being played – out on a stage that has been sadly too used to war. They’ve lived with war for over 100 years, since 1918. And now the President comes to this war knowing that the opponent Vladimir Putin, that he has troops who need two things: They need munitions, and they need the will to fight. They do not have the will to fight. But this president, President Biden, knows that while the Ukrainians need munitions they have the will to fight. Also – and this is another thing we talked about Congressman, earlier – people underestimate how tough Joe Biden is. They underestimate him, and that’s playing out now. Don’t you think?” asks veteran columnist Mike Barnicle of Rep. James E. Clyburn (D-SC) during a Morning Joe conversation about President Joe Biden’s leadership, including throughout Russian’s invasion of Ukraine. Watch the conversation here.
