Joe Biden Does ABC George Stephanopoulos Interview On Afghanistan And Covid-19
CNNCNN — Joe Biden sat for an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on Wednesday to talk Afghanistan and Covid-19 – among other things. The Stephanopoulos interview was only the 9th one Biden has done with a media organization since being sworn in as president seven months ago, according to statistics kept by longtime CBS Radio reporter Mark Knoller. As Politico noted back in April: “Three months in, Joe Biden’s White House has settled on a firm press strategy: First, do no self-harm. The White House is leaning more heavily on Cabinet officials to reach the audiences that didn’t tune into his latest Rose Garden event.” Biden defenders make the point that he has faced historic challenges – and that is his time is best spent solving problems rather than talking to then media.
