On 7/14/2022, Biden Participates in a Press Conference with Prime Minister Yair Lapid of Israel. President Biden said he was “given a list” of reporters to take questions from. The president made the gaffe after taking one question from an Israeli reporter. Afterwards, he was prompted to call on more reporters, when he said, “Um, sure. Uh, I was given a list here,” before reading off the name of Reuters reporter Steve Holland. As the conference went on, Biden repeatedly looked down at his list to call on reporters. “The next person to ask us a question, I guess, is Nadia [Bilbassy],” he said referring to a reporter for an Arabic news outlet. This is not the first time President Biden has raised eyebrows for admitting to calling on a pre-approved list of reporters given to him by his staff. According to one report, Biden’s staff avoids holding press events in the Oval Office because there is no teleprompter. During his first year in office, the president did far fewer formal sit-down interviews with journalists than his previous two predecessors.
On 7/14/2022, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi attacked Trump during her weekly press conference when asked about the former president’s impending 2024 campaign announcement. “Trump has indicated that he plans to announce a 2024 run in the next month or so, what impact would that have on the midterms? And would it benefit Democrats in your opinion?” a reporter asked Pelosi. A visibly irritated Pelosi lashed out at Trump and spoke down to the reporter. “Do I ever even mention his name? Would I even waste my time talking about him?” Pelosi queried. “What I will say is…Democrats have absolutely no intention of losing the House in November, and the Senate, too,” she added. She added, “We are campaigning on kitchen table issues that affect America’s working families…” “I don’t speculate on who’s running in 2024 even if it’s the former occasional occupant of the White House,” Pelosi said of Trump.
