President Biden has gone 65 days without holding a press conference since taking office on January 20 despite vowing transparency and accessibility to the press. The 78-year-old commander-in-chief is holding his first press conference Thursday afternoon after 65 days. His silence, from a press conference standpoint, has shattered records, taking longer to hold a press conference than the last two presidents combined. “During his campaign, Joe Biden said interacting with the press is a ‘really important part of his responsibility as an elected official.’ But here we are at day 65 and Biden is only just giving his FIRST press conference,” the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) said in a statement ahead of the highly anticipated presser while noting that Biden is the “first president in at least 100 years to wait this long to hold a press conference this far into their term.” “While Joe Biden has been hiding in the basement waiting for direction from his … [Read more...] about President Joe Biden Holding Press Conference After 65 Days

Joe Biden to Host Atlanta Ally’s Mayoral Campaign Fundraiser
President Joe Biden will headline the reelection fundraiser for Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms on Friday. An invite obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution advertises “the first fundraising event with President Biden” to be held on March 26. Donations for attendance range from $100 for “young professionals,” to “co-host” at $10,000. Bottoms — along with failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams — is one of Biden’s foremost allies in the state, which went from red to blue in the 2020 Presidential election for the first time in decades. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will spend time with Abrams during a visit originally intended as a pep rally for the passing of the $1.9 trillion coronavirus stimulus. Bottoms was initially offered a cabinet position as head of the Small Business Administration, but declined in order to run for another term as Mayor of Atlanta. Her challenger, 20-year City Council veteran and current President Felicia Moore, is expected … [Read more...] about Joe Biden to Host Atlanta Ally’s Mayoral Campaign Fundraiser
WH Confirms Joe Biden and Barack Obama Regularly Talk, Consult on a ‘Range of Issues’
President Joe Biden keeps in regular contact with Barack Obama to canvass his opinion on a range of issues, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Monday. Asked by a reporter whether the former president had visited the White House and if the two speak, Psaki replied both Obama and Biden have a collegiate relationship undefined by the traditional roles of president and vice president – instead, they are “friends.” “They consult and talk about a range of issues and I would expect that continues through the course of President Biden’s presidency,” Psaki said, a report by Fox News outlined. “That can be done over the phone it turns out, and I think if President Obama had been here, you would all know.” The closeness of Biden and Obama is no secret in Washington and was publicly aired during the last election campaign. Former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign will call up former President Barack Obama to take on President Donald Trump in the final weeks before the … [Read more...] about WH Confirms Joe Biden and Barack Obama Regularly Talk, Consult on a ‘Range of Issues’
Joe Biden Protected by Same Guns He Wants to Ban After Boulder Shooting
President Joe Biden is protected by AR-15s and similar firearms while pushing to prohibit law-abiding Americans from owning those same guns. Breitbart News reported that Biden responded to Monday’s Boulder, Colorado, shooting by calling for Congress to pass an “assault weapons” ban that would include a ban on “high capacity” magazines. Biden campaigned on such a ban in the lead-up to the 2020 election. On August 12, 2019, MSNBC noted Biden expressing his commitment to banning “assault weapons” and making clear his belief that the Second Amendment is not “absolute.” At the same, Biden is protected 24/7 by Secret Service agents armed with AR-15s and similar rifles. NBC News reported that Biden began receiving the Secret Service protection in March 2020, while still on the campaign trail. A source told Breitbart News such protection means Biden is protected with pistols, semiautomatic rifles–perhaps ARs and/or Sig Sauer MCX platform firearms–and there is the strong … [Read more...] about Joe Biden Protected by Same Guns He Wants to Ban After Boulder Shooting
