White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki continued to deflect questions surrounding the inexplicable delay of Joe Biden’s first solo press conference Friday; telling reporters they are working to “set a final date on that.”
“We’re 45 days into the Biden presidency and he has yet to hold a press conference. Why the delay and when can we expect the President to hold a press conference?” asked one journalist.
“Well, first, all of you know the President takes questions several times a week!” said Psaki.
“We look forward to holding a full press conference in the coming weeks, before the end of the month, and we’re working on setting a final date for that. As soon as we do, we’ll let you all know!” she added.

PRESS SEC CLAMS UP: Psaki Asked If Biden Still Considers Cuomo ‘Gold Standard’ in CoVID Response
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki deflected questions surrounding New York Governor Andrew Cuomo over the weekend when asked if President Biden still considers the top Democrat the “gold standard” of leadership during the pandemic.
“Andrew Cuomo under fire for allegedly not being transparent and misleading on the number of nursing home deaths in New York. Last spring, President Biden called Andrew Cuomo the ‘Gold Standard’ for leadership during the pandemic… Does President Biden still consider him the ‘Gold Standard?’” asked a reporter with ABC News.
“We work with Governor Cuomo just like we work with Governors across the country. He’s played an important role in ensuring that we’re getting assistance out to people in his state. We’ll continue to do that. There will be an investigation, we’ll leave that to others,” said Psaki.
