President Joe Biden is set to hold his first solo press conference from the White House on Thursday, his 64th day since taking office.
RELATED:
The president has taken questions from and interacted with reporters on other occasions, but his first press conference will be an arena for the media to ask pressing questions on the situation at the border, the coronavirus pandemic, recent gun violence and more.
All eyes will be on the president as he has the opportunity to strike a different tone with reporters than his predecessor, Donald Trump, who frequently sparred with the media and deemed them "the enemy of the people."
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said on Tuesday that Biden is "looking forward to the opportunity to engage with a free press."

How long before the comment section is closed??? I’ll circle back on that one later…
While watching the presser it took me 10 channels to find one that allowed comments and livechat😂
Does this man even know how to “think” for himself? He loves to play the “blame game” with Trump when he can’t finish a sentence!
@Aria Haha hey I still can’t believe the comments are still here after 1 day
@AngleHeartRose 45 Yea I’m surprised too lol!
Can’t wait for the Hodge Twins Youtube skit on this Press Conference. “Gonna be a good show, a Dammmm good show”
@Binova Gurung did you like when the reporter asked Joe about gun control and he started rambling on about bridges?🤣🤣🤣 how about when he walked out from behind the podium while the reporters talking, with that lost stare on his face. Trump did a news conference everyday. Joe had to wait 65 days and he still couldn’t last an hour🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 let them reporters down to the border Joe so we can see how bad it is
YEAAAH
Don’t forget your discount code “white privileged for 21%”. However, if you black you’re discount code is “sellout” and you only get 20%. 😂
Yeaahh
We have a damn good show!!!!
I’m also tremendously surprised that they are allowing comments.
Probably getting comfortable removing him soon
C’mon maan !!
All he knows is -“it’s Trump’s fault”.
Yep
Frankly Speaking, Trump’s Foreign Policy Was The BEST in the recent history of United States. Because of that, He was extremely Popular in India, Israel, & UAE.
People over here are missing him.
The unity president
King George III: “who are you?”
Joe Biden: “im you but.. ya know… the thing “
Trump: “put bleach on it.”
King George III: “what?”
Trump: “Yo semite”
LOL
King George III: 🎵I know him that can’t be. That’s that little guy who spoke to me’s successor’s successor’s successor’s successor’s successor’s successor’s successor’s successor’s successor’s successor’s successor’s successor’s successor’s successor’s successor’s successor’s successor’s successor’s successor’s successor’s successor’s successor’s

All those years ago. What was it 85’🎵
You can count that is 44 successors to John Adams.
As President you must be able to deal with multiple problems at once. I guess he can’t…scary.
“When I came to the United States senate 120 years ago?” WHAT
he needs to go to a nursing home that’s why
@Max actually everyone around the world thinks they’re funny meanwhile only liberals not progressives, independents, conservatives or right wingers find this funny and everyone outside US is in dismay.
That was a joke lol
Bruh Biden is about die any second 😂
Super rude to not put the time stamp lol
The disparity between what he’s saying about the border and what the news is showing us about the border is vast. He’s a liar.
En Vee he know’s exactly what’s going on at the border and his administration is working on it . No one is hiding or denying anything. He’s barely 2 months in. Look at the 4 years of failure during the last administration. That administration’s policies have set us back decades. Go insite an insurrection En Vee.
@Python Programmer you don’t even believe that. He said 2 internally inconsistent border policy’s in the same speech. Also Do you really think they are going to be calling illegal family members and asking them “ are you his aunt?”. Do you really think illegals were “starving to death” in Mexico waiting for papers? Don’t be such a propagandist and lie just because it’s your guy up there
@house rental542 guys like these make bernie sanders reddemable. Shows the average iq of biden supporters is woese than trump’s
“We had a two hour conversation….for two hours!”
🤣
Tye boss
I was always confused on how long a two hour conversation was
2 hours? I thought that was 120 years. Oh wait 120 minutes
April fool’s day came a bit earlier this year.
19:24 reminds me of when I was in highschool and we had a substitute teacher who didn’t know the names of the students…
Lol
😂
W
He’s getting so confused and he’s misspeaking and where are the fact checkers!?
There was a reason why Trump needed fact checkers. If Biden was lying, you would hear from a fact checker.
Why did he start wondering off towards the end? Did his steroid shots start to wear off? He was ready to call it. Then again 120 years of public service can put a toll on anyone.
Sure “most beloved president ever”
@SirRice Spoken like a true democrat.
@Jon Collins as if republicans are smart enough to comprehend anything that doesn’t result in them projecting and spewing out bullshit like you just did
@Python Programmer Lmao
Reading answers to questions that his administration prearranged. Yes the greatest press conference.
That ending was like when you’re at a show and the “applause/laugh” script comes up 🤣🤣
hope to hear applause at your ending
@c d I hope there isnt any applause at his ending I hope it’s just awkward silence then everybody leaves
One doesn’t experience self-transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates♦️
Well i was waiting for a cathartic enlightenment experience but you just ruined it. Now I’m drinking instead
I’m storing my guns and ammo upstairs, where Biden can’t get them.
I love how “The most liked president in history” has overwhelming dislikes on all of his videos
@I Hate Democrats he cares more about the pandemic effecting Americans, that’s for damn sure
@Rosè- a -Bleu oh, you mean that little flu like thing going around? That thing that nobody cares about and pays no mind to? Big deal.
@I Hate Democrats the “flu like thing” that has killed over 500,000 Americans? Yet you “patriots” seem to not care?😐 just call yourselves what you actually are…loyalists
@Rosè- a -Bleu Pelosi caught at a salon not wearing a mask, Newsom at a dinner party at the French Laundry not wearing a mask, Cuomo sending sick patients to live in senior centers, Whitmer also sending sick patients AND convicts to live with seniors (who everyone knows were at the greatest risk), Wendy Ullman caught on camera calling masks “political theater”… I could go on and onn about the democratic hypocrisy, they used covid for fear tactics to gain votes, they obviously didn’t actually believe it was dangerous. Don’t even try to argue it
@Rosè- a -Bleu you don’t have any thoughts… sheep lol
“When I came to the United States senate 120 years ago?” WHAT
