Biden lags far behind predecessors Trump, Obama in holding sit-down interviews
President Joe Biden has given just nine sit-down news interviews in his first seven months in office, lagging far behind former Presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama at the same point during their terms.
According to former CBS White House correspondent Mark Knoller, Biden’s Wednesday interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos was only his ninth since taking office in January, while at this same point in their presidencies, Trump had given 50 interviews and Obama had done 113. During his time at CBS, Knoller was known as an unofficial White House statistician.
