The White House spent a portion of Wednesday evening and Thursday cleaning up two key comments from President Joe Biden’s press conference.
Biden’s marathon formal press conference lasted for nearly two hours, beating out both former President Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama’s lengthiest press conferences. While Biden started off by calling on reporters using a list in hand, he eventually abandoned the paper, joking at one point that he could “still stand” despite the length of the event.
With the lengthy press conference – a rare event for the current president – came some missteps. Early on, Biden was asked about the passage of his election bills and whether he believes the upcoming midterm election would be fair without them.
Biden is pushing for passage of the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which would give more federal control over state election laws. Republicans have blocked these efforts, often arguing it subverts the Constitution.
