Who knows if Joe Biden is as “angry and anxious” about his reelection prospects as a new NBC News report portrays him.

It could be that it’s ordinary ill temper from a politician prone to shouting in private (an Axios headline not too long ago dubbed Biden “old yeller”), or exaggerated reports from meetings where typical salty language is used by old political pros hashing out strategy and tactics.
