It's been months since Biden formally faced the press solo
Biden's high-stakes press appearance scheduled for Thursday night is his first formal solo news conference since November 2023.
The president's last similar outing came nearly eight months ago when he took questions from reporters after his summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping in California.
At that news conference, Biden called on reporters from four organizations, one of whom asked two questions.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre jumped in to end the news conference after the fourth reporter, though Biden proceeded to answer an additional nine questions.
Biden's most recent joint news conference was during the G7 summit last month.
