Confusion among reporters as Biden announces “major press conference”

(Agence France-Presse, Washington, 5th) US President Joe Biden surprised the media by announcing a “major press conference” in the afternoon during an event with economic advisers at the White House today. It should just be his slip of the tongue.

Agence France-Presse reported that the “major press conference” mentioned by Joe Biden did not take place, and no press conference was included in the schedule. Unless it is a national crisis or a shocking event, the US President’s press conference usually will Announcements are made long in advance, often days in advance.

Biden was once criticized for holding too few press conferences. After finishing his meeting with his economic advisers, he bought Tacos in Washington non-stop to participate in the annual celebration of the Latino community in the United States, the “May 5th Festival.” (Cinco de Mayo).

According to a source familiar with the matter, Biden was actually referring (or trying to refer) to an interview that was scheduled to air on MSNBC this evening.
