To date, Biden has sat for just 23 <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/01\/13\/president-joe-biden-reporters-press-conference-questions\/\">interviews<\/a> since taking office 485 days ago, the Examiner reported \u2013 a marked decrease from many of his predecessors, <a href=\"https:\/\/whitehousetransitionproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Presidential_Interchanges_with_Reporters_FINAL_5-30-2018.pdf\">according<\/a> to data compiled by the White House Transitions Project.<\/p>\n<p>Former President Barack Obama had conducted 187 interviews as of 465 days into his time in office, according to the White House Transitions Project. Between January 20, 2017 and April 29, 2018, former President Donald Trump had sat for 95 interviews, the data also noted.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s sit-down interview count is also dwarfed by former Presidents George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan, data from the White House Transitions Project shows.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7434001\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-7434001\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">U.S. President Joe Biden speaks with members of the media, before departing Buffalo-Niagara International Airport, after visiting the area to pay his respects to the people killed in a mass shooting by a gunman authorities say was motivated by racism, in Buffalo, NY, U.S. May 17, 2022.

In May, then-White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki defended Biden rarely holding press conferences or doing sit-down with journalists, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/jen-psaki-white-house-media-buzz-interview-joe-biden-access-public\">telling<\/a> Fox News that he is always speaking to the American people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I think our objective, given our role and our focus here, is speaking to the public and certainly engaging in and valuing a free press,\u201d Psaki said at the time. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/03\/03\/president-joe-biden-press-conference-solo\/\">(RELATED:\u00a0President Joe Biden Nears 45 Days Without Holding A Press Conference)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The administration has also been quick to note that <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/04\/20\/chris-wallace-jen-biden-sheltered-press\/\">Biden<\/a> often fields questions from the press, though notably these questions are typically shouted as the president leaves or arrives at a location, after he holds meetings or following remarks to the country. This format also doesn\u2019t typically allow for the press to engage in an in-depth back and forth with Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s last sit down interview aired on February 10, 2022.
