The rhetorically controlled leader of the free world doesn’t always make news. But fresh off Thursday’s State of the Union address, President Joe Biden was anything but taciturn, unleashing a torrent of headline-grabbing comments. Here are the top three “R's” from my exclusive Biden sit-down over the weekend.
A return Biden went to Israel on Oct. 18 in a show of support. Five months later, some have suggested that he return and address the Knesset, the Israeli parliament. When I asked the president whether that was something he would support, he responded in the affirmative. His quick “yes” surprised me — as did his decision not to discuss the matter further. His quick pivot suggests that my shot-in-the-dark query might be more on the mark than I had anticipated.
