Washington, D.C. — President Joe Biden’s first press conference is FINALLY happening today after a record-setting 65 days in office without one.
The press conference begins at 12:15 pm CT. You can watch it live right here.
How Biden performs during this press conference will be a sign of how the president will perform for the rest of his term.
Do not expect Biden to be unprepared for this press conference. He took a staggering 65 days to prepare for this. He will have answers for any likely questions prepared in advance.
The real question is whether the liberal media will press Biden or allow him to skate by without answering the hard questions.
Biden received nothing but softball questions and praise from the press during the 2020 presidential campaign. However, the press has become increasingly frustrated with Biden’s lack of availability, as well as the administration’s lack of transparency (despite promises from Biden to increase transparency during the campaign).
Here are some of the most urgent topics we expect the media to press Biden on during the conference.
- The Crisis at the Southern Border
- Why: There are over 16,000 unaccompanied minors in Border Patrol custody, and the numbers are only getting worse. Both Democrats and the GOP are frustrated with Biden’s botched handling of the southern border.

- Ending the Filibuster
- Why: Biden recently expressed interest in eliminating the filibuster. The filibuster is the last thing standing in the way of Biden’s sweeping progressive agenda. With it in place, many progressive goals will be dead on arrival in the Senate.

- Gun-control and Banning So-called “Assault Weapons”
- Why: Progressives pounced on the recent string of tragic shootings to push radical and unconstitutional gun-control policies. Biden is on record asking for Congress to ban so-called “assault weapons” and supports an optional “buyback” program. However, many people in his administration support a mandatory “buyback” (gun confiscation).

- Packing the Supreme Court
- Why: Biden has dodged this question since 2020 and refuses to tell voters where he stands. A conservative majority on the Supreme Court is frustrating Democrats, who hold total control over the Executive and Legislative branches of the federal government.

- Biden’s Health
- Why: Biden’s slow pace, gaffes when speaking, and a recent tumble on the steps of Air Force One have everyone speculating about whether or not Biden can fully perform his duties as president.

- Hunter Biden
- Why: Hunter has been a thorn in the president’s side since he announced his run for office (if not before). Conservative media will continue to scrutinize his ties to China, as well as the Justice Department’s investigation into his tax affairs.

- China
- Why: Biden appears to be taking a soft stance on China despite calling Russian President Vladimir Putin a “killer.” All signs point to China believing they get a free pass to do whatever they want under a Biden administration — a stark contrast to former President Donald Trump’s administration.
So, grab a bowl of popcorn and tune in for what promises to be a telling press conference.

This guy belongs in a retirement home. His lies about the border under President Trump were just over the top. The border was secure, China Joe opened it up and has caused a security and humanitarian crisis. He refuses to let the sympathetic media visit the squalor the refugee kids are living in. His pre-selected media partners who were “chosen” to ask the softball questions were acting as fraud media. Asking a guy who stole an election if he is going to run again 3 months into his fraud term is a joke.
