Early on Thursday evening, three presidents walked into a theater.
Plus, there was a panel discussion moderated by Stephen Colbert.
Guests had the thrill of getting their portrait taken with all three presidents at once.

Needless to say, that set a high bar for what was still to come.
Just over an hour later, everyone filed into the theater for the show.

And in response to Colberts question about whats at stake in the 2024 presidential election?
I think our democracy is at stake, [and thats] not a joke, Biden replied.
The discussion then turned to taxes, the economy, and the job market.

I believe in keeping score, not in a vindictive way, but in a positive way.
Hes been good for America.
