Psaki Is Asked When China Joe Will Hold 'First Solo Presser', Her Answer Raises More Uncomfortable Questions
2021-02-23
[Red State] It has been over one month since Joe Biden was sworn in as the president of the United States.

Since that time, Biden has made public statements here and there and held a few carefully controlled pressers with his handlers by his side, some of which included either reporters or questions that were pre-selected. He also participated in a predictably friendly town hall on CNN last week where he made some questionable claims that, of course, went mostly unchallenged by moderator and anchor Anderson Cooper.

One thing Biden hasn’t done in the last month, however, is to hold a solo press conference with the White House press corps. As the pandemic continues on and as parts of the country are continuing to dig out from a brutal winter storm, two reporters went against the grain during today’s White House press briefing with press secretary Jen Psaki and asked when they’d get a chance to ask Biden himself some questions.

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins got the first question in by first pointing out that "by this time in their presidencies, both President Trump and President Obama had held solo press conferences." She then asked Psaki if there are "plans for President Biden to hold a solo press conference any time soon?"

While Psaki confirmed he’d be holding a solo presser at some point, she told Collins an exact date had not yet been set. "He will hold a solo press conference," Psaki stated. "But I don’t have a date for you at this point in time."

When Collins asked if it would be this week, Psaki told her, "not this week, no."

#5  Definitely scheduled for the 12th of Never, and that's a long, long time.

It will be just before his State of the Union Speech.
