President Biden kicked off his very first press conference, held 65 days into his White House term, by delivering a range of remarks that should have been the stuff of his State of the Union — that he never held — before fielding a few questions on immigration, the border, and why he was much better than Donald Trump on the immigration and border.
It went like this: I’m great. I’ve been doing great things. I’m going to keep doing all this great stuff. “Help is here, hope is on the way.” Now can I take your questions about how great I am?
Swing, batter, batter. Swing
Question 1: How are you going to beat back all those nasty Republicans?
“The guns and the other things,” he said, “what we’re going to be able to do, God willing, is focus on those things. … But the fundamental problem is getting people some peace of mind so they can go to bed at night and not stare at the ceiling.”

President Biden on Thursday said he would “be flattered” if migrants were surging to the US-Mexico border because of him — but denied he was to blame for the crisis and insisted that migration waves generally happen this time of year.
Biden faced multiple questions about the border debacle at his first formal White House press conference, including about migrants who are telling reporters they were motivated to illegally enter the US because of the perception Biden would welcome them.
“Well look, I guess I should be flattered if people are coming because I’m the nice guy — that’s the reason why it’s happening — that I’m a decent man, or however it’s phrased, that’s why they are coming, because they know Biden’s a good guy.”
He added: “But the truth of the matter is, nothing has changed. As many people came — 28 percent increase in children at the border in my administration. Thirty-one percent in the last year — in 2019, before the pandemic in the Trump administration. This happens every single, solitary year.” --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to related stories:
