Ex-Biden spox Jen Psaki says president should ditch press conferences and opt for softball interview on liberal-friendly The View instead

Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki believes President Joe Biden should prioritize appearances on liberal-leaning shows such as The View over holding traditional press conferences. In her view, Biden can effectively communicate with the American people through these platforms, which offer alternative media options and direct engagement with the audience. Biden's approach to the press has drawn criticism for his relatively low number of press conferences and interviews compared to his predecessor, former President Donald Trump. White House officials argue that this strategy allows Biden to connect with audiences without going through political journalists. Critics, however, suggest the administration is trying to shield the president from unscripted interactions that may lead to criticism. White House Communications Director Ben LaBolt supports this approach, emphasizing the need to adapt to the changing media landscape to reach Americans where they consume news.
