Biden will hold his first press conference by the 'end of the month', White House claimsDaily Mail/UK, Mar 5, 2021
President Joe Biden will hold his first presidential press conference by the end of the month, White House press secretary Jen Psaski said Friday.
'We look forward to holding a full press conference in the coming weeks before the end of the month,' Psaki told reporters at the press briefing. 'And we're working on setting a final date for that and as soon as we do we will let you all know.'
Psaki was asked why Biden had delayed a full Q&A with journalists, bucking a tradition to do one in the early weeks of an administration, which has been around since the Reagan years.
'Well, first as all of you know the president takes questions several times a week,' Psaki answered. 'He took questions actually twice yesterday, which is an opportunity for the people covering the White House to ask him about whatever news is happening on any given day.'
During what's called a 'spray,' when reporters pop into a meeting with Biden for several minutes to take his photo and observe what he's doing, he's often answered a question or two, though often strains to hear what's being asked over the calls from his aides telling journalists to leave the room.
Psaki also pointed to the current crises the president is tackling - the coronavirus pandemic and the economic fallout.
