For example, in the presidential election of 2020, it took four days for the American mainstream media to declare that the current president, Democrat Joe Biden, had defeated Republican Donald Trump (2020-2021).
The House Branca did not disclose what the president’s agenda will be in the next two days and did not confirm whether Biden will hold a post-election press conference to assess the results, as every US president since Bill Clinton has done (1993-2001).In his press conference today, Jean-Pierre assured that Biden will take a stand after the elections and that he “loves” to answer questions from journalists, but he did not commit that he will speak with the press to answer questions.
