US President Joe Biden offered to ask him questions during a live broadcast, but suddenly went off the air. The Daily Mail reporters drew attention to the case.
Biden was scheduled to answer questions from Democratic congressmen on Wednesday, March 3, when the White House inexplicably interrupted the live broadcast.
The 78-year-old head of state has yet to hold an official press conference since taking office on January 20. It is noted that Biden's lack of press conferences is an obvious opposition to his predecessor as president, Donald Trump, who is known for his publicity and frequent communication with the press.
Biden has yet to host a solo or joint press conference, and there are no signs that he plans to do so anytime soon. He answered reporters' questions, but in a reserved manner that, as the newspaper notes, upset his critics, who expected more openness from him.
On March 3, he attended a Democratic convention in the US House of Representatives. Biden is facing growing calls for a full-fledged press conference. On the evening of March 2, Kaley McEnany, Trump's press secretary from April 2020 until his departure, noted that both Trump and 44th US President Barack Obama met with the press during the stage of the presidency in which Biden is now: Obama through 20 days after the inauguration, and Trump 27 days later.
