Biden's meetings with the press themselves are much less frequent than those of his predecessors. A total of 33 press conferences in three years.
Trump had 42, Obama had 66. With such “flickering” contact with the media, it is difficult to expect support. Even liberal media are turning away from Biden. The mouthpieces of the Democratic Party have fallen silent. Prominent Senator Joe Manchin, who personifies the centrists (that is, those with whose votes Biden will try to beat Trump in November), is withdrawing his support for the White House.
