text:  Alex, you know, I cover the president now for three and a half years. I see him every day. He often sounds raspy. He often speaks in a lower volume. But tonight, he definitely sounded different. And it took a while to see any spark in the president. It maybe came about 35, 40 minutes in. But finally, when he was talking about Ukraine, January 6, when he called former President Donald Trump a convicted felon, that's when it seemed like he started to get into more of a groove.
