Karine Jean-Pierre’s absurd claim that Biden has taken more questions from the press than the past three presidents combined was promptly, but quietly, walked back by the White House.
But no matter how the White House attempts to spin it, Biden is still the least transparent president in modern history.
- Since taking office, Biden has participated in just 39 interviews with members of the press.
- Biden conducted HALF as many press interviews in 2022 as he did in his first year, when he participated in fewer interviews than any president in modern history.
- Biden went 126 days — February 10 to June 16, 2022 — without doing a single interview.
- By comparison, Kamala Harris has participated in at least 150 press interviews in the same timeframe.
- Biden has not conducted a solo press conference since November 14 — 150 days ago.
- Biden has held just 23 press conferences — more than half of which were joint events.
- That’s the fewest of any president at this point in their presidency since Ronald Reagan.
- Biden has spent 325 days on vacation since taking office — 40% of his presidency.
Of course, Biden’s penchant for ignoring the American people extends well beyond his unwillingness to answer questions. For example, in the 42 days since Biden promised he’d visit the toxic train disaster in East Palestine, Ohio, “at some point,” he has made five trips to Delaware, one to Camp David, and one to Ireland.
Biden promised “transparency.” So where is it?
