Here are nine questions Biden may face at his first presser

President Biden will hold his first formal press conference on Thursday, more than 60 days after taking office.

The presser comes as Biden faces a burgeoning crisis at the southern border, mass shootings that have reenergized a debate over gun control and internal battling among Democrats over whether to get rid of the filibuster and how much to even try to work with Republicans.

Here are nine questions he’s likely to face.

Should Democrats gut the filibuster? And are you really interested in bipartisanship?

Biden ran as a centrist candidate promising to return Washington to normal. He also said he could work with Republicans.

So far, the only major legislation signed by Biden is the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package that was moved through the Senate with budget reconciliation rules that sidestepped the filibuster. Not a single Republican voted for it.

The White House and Democrats see the GOP opposition as proof that Republicans aren’t really interested in working with Biden — even on tackling the pandemic. Republicans say it shows Biden doesn’t really care about bipartisanship.

In the last few weeks, Democrats have been riven with debates over what to do with the filibuster, as liberals grow frustrated that big agenda items could be stymied in the Senate.
