How to watch President Joe Biden's first 2022 press conference
CBSN
President Biden is holding his first press conference of 2022 on Wednesday, January 19, the eve of the first anniversary of when he took office. The press conference comes as his presidency — and the country — is struggling amid the Omicron COVID-19 surge and rising inflation, and as his signature legislation, Build Back Better, is stalled in Congress.
CBSN will carry Mr. Biden's press conference live.
A CBS News poll released Sunday showed that 50% of Americans are "frustrated" by his presidency so far, followed by 49% who are "disappointed" and 40% who are nervous. Just 25% said they are "calm" and 23% said they are "satisifed."

Health officials in western Texas are trying to contain a measles outbreak among mostly school-aged children, with at least 15 confirmed cases. It's the latest outbreak of a disease that had been virtually eliminated in the U.S., and it comes as vaccination rates are declining — jeopardizing the country's herd immunity from widespread outbreaks.
