| WATCH: Joe Biden holds first solo press conference | |
| (about 1 hour later) | |
| US President Joe Biden has finally delivered his first press conference after two months as commander-in-chief, leaving Americans with a confusing hodgepodge of promises to keep the country strong and maintain alliances. | |
| Amid a crisis at the border and a renewed push for gun control, Biden has waited longer than any of his predecessors to face the media. | |
| In fact, Biden has waited longer to give a solo press conference than any US president in the past 100 years. Donald Trump addressed the media after 27 days, while Barack Obama, Biden’s old boss, waited just 20 days. With Biden under pressure from reporters, his opponents have accused him of hiding from the media, and some conservatives have been suggesting he was hiding his alleged cognitive decline. | In fact, Biden has waited longer to give a solo press conference than any US president in the past 100 years.

| Much has happened since Biden took office. The president has fired off 50 executive orders, ordered airstrikes on Syria, overseen a natural disaster in Texas, and signed a $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill. His administration faces an ongoing crisis at the Mexican border as it struggles to process tens of thousands of illegal immigrants, and both Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have pushed Congress to enact tough new gun control laws in the wake of two mass shootings in as many weeks. | Much has happened since Biden took office.

| Biden promised from the outset to lead an open and transparent White House. However, aside from waiting nine weeks to hold a press conference, his administration has imposed a media blackout on detention facilities at the Mexican border, and Biden himself rarely takes questions after live events, with his aides often whisking him away from reporters. | Biden promised from the outset to lead an open and transparent White House.
