Updated: July 11, 2024, 10:07 pm
President Joe Biden will hold his first solo news conference in eight months on Thursday, facing a barrage of questions from reporters at a critical juncture in his presidency.
The event, scheduled for 1:00 pm EST, comes amid mounting challenges for Biden, including the ongoing war in Ukraine, rising inflation, and a potential recession.
Biden's last solo press conference was held on October 21, 2023. Since then, he has faced criticism for his handling of several major crises, including the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Thursday's press conference is widely viewed as a high-stakes event for Biden. It will be an opportunity for him to address the nation directly, lay out his vision for the future, and respond to the concerns of Americans.
