Longest Delay of a Presidential Press Conference in 100 Years: Biden Finally Holds First Presser Today

He's waited longer than any president in more than 100 years. But today, Joe Biden will finally take the podium in the White House press room.

On Biden's 64th day in office, the president is holding his first long-awaited press conference at 1:15 p.m. The long delay has raised questions about why it's taken so long for him to stand before reporters and answer rapid-fire questions.

The president's long-awaited appearance could be one of the most analyzed given all the talk leading up to it.

It will be seen as a test of his ability to think on his feet under pressure - a test that some claim Biden has purposely avoided, although the White House says he's just been laser-focused on his agenda for America.

It's a promise brought up often by the president and his team.

"When the President asked me to serve in this role, we talked about the importance of bringing truth and transparency back to the briefing room," White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said.

But some insist that hasn't happened.
