Biden to Hold News Conference on Thursday

Biden to face tough questions from reporters on economy, COVID-19

President Biden will hold a news conference at the White House on Thursday, his first since taking office.

Biden is expected to face tough questions from reporters on the economy, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the ongoing war in Ukraine. The news conference will be Biden's first opportunity to address the public since the midterm elections, in which Democrats lost control of the House of Representatives.

Biden's approval ratings have been declining in recent months, and he is facing pressure from both Democrats and Republicans to do more to address the nation's problems. The news conference will be an important opportunity for Biden to lay out his plans for the next two years and to try to regain some of the public's trust.

The news conference will be held at 2:00 p.m. ET in the East Room of the White House. It will be streamed live on the White House website and on major news networks.
