Joe Biden Holds First Press Conference Since Taking Office; Leaves the American People With More Questions Than Answers

64 days into his presidency, Joe Biden finally held his first formal press conference. Needless to say, after an hour of long rambles and vague explanations, many Americans were left with more questions than answers. Here’s a recap of what President Biden failed to address during the event:

1. Solving the Border Crisis

It’s no secret the Biden administration has a serious problem on its hands when it comes to the surging influx of migrants racing to the southern border. But instead of providing a clear-cut explanation about how he plans to solve this problem, Biden spent his time lying about the number of migrant families being sent back to their home countries and avoided giving a timeline of when journalists will be given access to border facilities.

2. Eliminating the Filibuster

In the face of mounting controversy over Democrats’ desire to eliminate the filibuster, President Biden failed to give a firm answer on whether a filibuster should be able to be defeated by 51 votes versus the current 60-vote threshold. Instead of directly answering the question, Biden dodged by arguing he’s not an expert on Senate rules.

3. Holding Our Nation’s Biggest Adversaries Accountable

When asked about the United States’ relationship with countries like China and North Korea, Joe Biden almost always referred to his briefing notes and spewed out talking points. In response to a specific question on China, Biden rambled about his relationship with Xi Jinping while excluding details about how the United States will ensure China plays by the rules.

Bottom line: After 64 days of avoiding the tough questions, Joe Biden’s first press conference was nothing more than rambling, vague answers, and obvious dodges on some of our nation’s most pressing issues.
