So far, Biden has reportedly only given 9 press conferences so far as president – compared to former President Donald Trump’s 22 press conferences in his first year as president, Barack Obama’s 27, George W. Bush’s 19, Bill Clinton’s 38, and George H. W. Bush’s 31.

Although Biden has given fewer press conferences and interviews, he has reportedly given more informal Q&As to the press and media compared to his immediate predecessors – all except Clinton, who reportedly gave 245 informal Q&As compared to Biden’s 216.

“With Kamala you have to put up with a constant amount of soul-destroying criticism and also her own lack of confidence,” an unnamed staffer recently spilled. “So, you're constantly sort of propping up a bully and it's not really clear why.”
