‘President’ Joe Biden has yet to hold his first solo press conference 45 days into presidency and White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki has been asked by multiple times by reporters of when the first press conference will happen. On Friday Psaki said Biden takes questions all the time but there are many videos showing reporters being rushed out after events.
In Biden’s most recent virtual event, he offered to take questions but The White House cut the live feed, taking away the presidents chance to answer live questions.
Former President Trump held a press conference nearly every day, for two months and would be speaking for 1-2 hours but Biden has yet to make an appearance for one.
Former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany weighed in on Biden’s staff not having faith in Biden taking live questions from reporters.
