Washington Post: “That moment last Monday was a telling one after a politically tumultuous few weeks. The president was aboard a plane that symbolized the almost unimaginable power at his fingertips, yet he was watching news coverage blanketed not by him but by his second-in-command, and the questions about who would become her own number two.” “To some of those in the plane, who described the encounter afterward, the episode also illustrated a more basic reality — that Biden appears largely reconciled to his tortured decision to bow out of the race, and is now comfortable enough with it to crack jokes.”
