President Joe Biden, at his first solo press conference since being sworn in, sought to defend his administration’s handling of the border crisis, touched upon Senate procedures such as the filibuster, and commented for the first time on whether he planned to run for reelection.
The conference itself—65 days into his presidency—came after mounting pressure from critics and journalists wondering why Biden was taking so long to hold a briefing. Biden waited longer than any other president in four decades to hold the formal briefing on March 25.
