Biden team 'has zero confidence' that 'absentee president' can handle press conference, Concha suggests
Fox News
Joe Biden is showing himself to be an "absentee president" by not holding a solo press conference or scheduling an address to Congress despite having been in office for more than six weeks, Joe Concha told "America Reports" Thursday.
Biden's immediate predecessor, Donald Trump, held his first news conference on Feb. 16, 2017, while Barack Obama held his first news conference on Feb. 9, 2009. In Biden's first six weeks, Concha noted, he has enacted sweeping executive actions like the cancellation of the Keystone XL Pipeline project. "[With] all of these actions that the president is taking without having to be held accountable for them, I would think that a guy ... who got 81 million votes -- the most in U.S. history, Joe Biden, with the wind at his back, would take advantage and address the country during a time of crisis in terms of COVID, in terms of the economy, in terms of a rising China," Concha said, "and instead we have an absentee president at this point."More Related News
