Biden Holds First Press Conference as President

President Joe Biden held his first press conference as president on Thursday, discussing a wide variety of issues including immigration, the Senate filibuster and foreign policy. In his opening remarks, Biden set a new goal of administering 200 million vaccine doses by his 100th day in office. While the last 15 presidents held at least one press conference by their 33rd day in office, Biden waited until his 64th day, longer than any president in the last 100 years. Coverage from across the spectrum focused on particular points made by Biden, such as the new vaccine goal. Coverage in right-rated outlets generally framed Biden's remarks more critically than coverage in left-rated outlets.
