President Biden is set to hold a solo press conference on Thursday, marking the first time in months that he will address the media without a teleprompter. This comes on the heels of the NATO summit, where Biden engaged in discussions with world leaders.
Concerns have been raised about the President's reliance on scripted remarks and teleprompters, with some questioning his ability to speak off-the-cuff. During a recent press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre defended Biden's use of teleprompters, stating that it is not uncommon for presidents to utilize them.
Despite criticisms, Jean-Pierre assured reporters that Biden would be participating in unscripted interviews in the coming days, including one with George Stephanopoulos. She also confirmed that Biden will be holding a 'big boy' press conference next week, following the NATO summit.
White House officials have confirmed that the press conference will take place on Thursday, providing an opportunity for Biden to address a range of topics and answer questions from the press.
In a previous press conference, Biden faced tough questions about his age and memory, particularly in relation to a report on his handling of classified documents. The President's response to these questions was described as intense and garnered mixed reactions.
As the date of the upcoming press conference approaches, more details are expected to be shared by the White House. The event will offer a platform for President Biden to address the public directly and engage with the media in an unscripted setting.
