That’s an uplifting campaign message.
Considering what has come up over the year, doing their jobs professionally and providing real value to the reader is exactly what is not on the retention list.
Both Acyn and Aaron Rupar watched a Trump event in Howell held in a parking garage. Unless they both missed the announcement, he never said it.
Sen JD Vance at a local deli in Kenosha, WI per source there:
“You have any food here you really don’t like? We’ll take some and feed it to the journalists on the plane.”

I do think he deserved that moment, to be cocooned in the adoration of a crowd that recognizes the extent of that sacrifice. But I hope he shapes his speeches going forward (and particularly on the campaign trail) more on Harris, more on the future he’s allowing to play out.
My other quibble about Biden’s speech was the way we used numbers that meant something to him, but would not to the average listener: “Under my administration, such-and-such indicator went up to so-and-so number!”
He has been a very good president (especially grateful for the Inflation Reduction Act and its constituent parts) but as a candidate he no longer can connect well – he likely could not have pulled this election out.

But if [Judy Woodruff] has knowledge that Trump is trying to scuttle the deal to further his electoral chances (not, like, beyond the pale of possibility given how we know Trump operates), that would be breaking new ground.
More like breaking old ground.
See: Reagan/Iranian hostages. See: Nixon/Viet Nam war.
Somehow I’m getting the feeling that Vance isn’t entirely clued in on how his press pool is going to be most people’s source of information about him and his interactions with the electorate.
