Trump & Obama Held Solo Press Conferences By This Time Of Presidency, ‘Not This Week’ For Biden
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked if at some point, President Biden will be giving a solo press conference because by this time in the presidency of Former President Trump and Obama, they held solo press conferences but Psaki said ‘not this week’ for Biden.
Former President Trump held his first press conference on February 16, 2017 and Former President Obama held his first on February 9, 2009.
According to Fox News, “President Biden held his first formal White House press conference on Monday [Jan 25], but most of the questions asked were from reporters that were pre-selected by his team.”
JoeConchaTV said, “Like the campaign, Biden’s staff is choosing which reporters can ask questions instead of the president doing it himself. This continues to be profoundly odd and a painfully obvious attempt to protect him from those suspected of having the audacity to ask a challenging question.”

The real question should be, is Biden capable of holding a solo press conference after his first CNN town hall?
Biden claimed there was no vaccine when he came into office even though he received one in December and Trump’s last day in office. Which by no surprise, this claim of Biden saying ‘no vaccine when he came into office’ has been fact checked to help Biden.
Some have even called it what the media and fact checks are and will be doing.
10:00 am – 10:05: Biden press conference
10:05 – midnight: Media explains what Biden "really meant," denounces anyone who tries to fact-check him

Snopes said in response, “At one point during a CNN town hall on Feb. 16, Biden said: ‘It’s one thing to have the vaccine, which we didn’t have when we came into office.’ It appears that Biden simply misspoke, however, given that he had acknowledged just minutes before that 50 million doses were available when he took office.”

Biden fumbled some responses in his CNN town hall where he said, “blacks and Hispanics can’t figure out how to use the internet to get in line for a COVID vaccination.
Joe Biden says blacks and Hispanics can't figure out how to use the Internet, so they don't know where to get vaccinated. 🤦🏻♂️ From last night's CNN Town Hall event. pic.twitter.com/4LjPvsocf6
