Meacham on Biden Presser: ‘There Was a Kind of Poetry in His Prose’

EXCERPT:

MEACHAM: “So, this felt to me as there were kind of two tributaries meeting. The President talking about how important our values are — that's one tributary. The other was, this is a very practical man who believes in these ideals, who believes that diplomacy is hard work. As you say, it’s meat and potatoes. You just keep plugging. And there was — I guess my interesting — my insight, watching the press conference yesterday was, there was a kind of poetry in his prose. Does that make sense? Not literally his prose, but just the whole thing. It was straightforward, and by being so straightforward, it seemed kind of elevating to me."
