The White House has continued to deflect and brush off questions
about Joe Biden’s failure to hold a formal press conference. When
pressed on the issue Friday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said
Biden is too busy with the COVID crisis, but it may happen by the end of
March.
This came as Biden made history this week, becoming the first
president in 100 years to not hold a solo press briefing in his first 45
days in office.
White House reporters voiced their frustration over their lack of
access to the president on Friday, but the press secretary continued to
give vague answers and make excuses for Biden.
“But this president came in during a historic crisis, two historic
crises,” Psaki stated. “A pandemic like the country had not seen in
decades and decades, and an economic downturn that left 10 million
people out of work.”
In the meantime, some are pointing to the fact that, at the height of
the pandemic, President Trump still held at least seven press briefings
a week and took questions during all White House events. That’s in
sharp contrast to Biden who, earlier this week, told reporters he would
take questions during a virtual event but before they could get their
chance, the White House cut his feed.
