Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki has suggested that President Joe Biden should make appearances on The View rather than doing irregular press conferences.
During an appearance on The View on Monday, Psaki noted there are a lot of challenges in the media right now and that it would be beneficial for Biden to go on the show to connect and communicate with Americans.
“The benefit of the media environment right now — there’s a lot of challenges, but I’m going to start with the optimistic side — is that there are so many choices,” Psaki said.
“When you’re communicating from the White House, I mean respect for freedom of speech and freedom of the press is important, but you’re also just really trying to communicate with the American people, right? So my view is he should come on The View before he does a press conference,” she continued.
This comes as Biden is facing criticism for having minimal press availability. The Democrat has held the fewest interviews since President Ronald Reagan.
Biden has reportedly held just three solo White House press conferences in his first three years of office. 45th President Donald Trump held 54 press conferences in the same amount of time.
