In a press conference stretching nearly two hours Wednesday, President Joe Biden appeared to go off his prepared list of reporters, taking questions on the legitimacy of the upcoming midterm elections, his cognitive ability, China, Russia, and his son Hunter Biden.

On the eve of completing one year in office, Biden also talked about the state of “the cables,” meaning cable news channels, and the future of Vice President Kamala Harris.

Here are eight key takeaways from what was only the second time Biden has held a formal solo press conference since taking office as president.
