Pressure is growing for President Biden to hold a press conference on his own, after his last attempt to answer questions was abruptly cut off by a White House video feed.
Some analysts expect Biden to hold a solo presser when he has some especially good news to report, such as the passage of his pandemic stimulus bill. The Senate is set to debate the bill this week.
Biden is now 43 days into his presidency, but has yet to hold the kind of traditional White House press conference at which the president answers reporters’ questions himself. President Trump, by comparison, held his first such press conference 27 days in, and President Obama did so on day 20.
The president has answered questions from reporters on some occasions, though not at a formal press conference. He has spoken off the cuff at announcements in the Oval Office and at signings of executive orders, events at which reporters sometimes shout out questions at the end.
On Wednesday, for example, Biden answered an impromptu question at the end of an Oval Office meeting about cancer research, when a reporter asked about a rocket attack in Iraq.
