Joe Biden held his first formal news conference in 89 days -- and it drew mixed reviews.
During the campaign event in his hometown of Wilmington, Del., the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee continued with his condemnation of President Trump's handling of the coronavirus outbreak and knocked him over recent reports of his response to White House intelligence briefings that said Russia had been offering bounties to Taliban forces for killing U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
Members of the media offered their opinions of Biden's performance as well as the performance of the pool reporters.
Axios reporter Jonathan Swan called Biden's appearance a "pretty gentle session" and claimed he was "not really being tested" by reporters' questions.
The Hill media reporter Joe Concha noted that Biden faced no questions about the "defund the police" movement taking hold in New York City, nor about recent shootings in Seattle's "CHOP." zone
Ari Fleischer, a Fox News contributor who served as White House press secretary under former President George W. Bush, said he saw a difference between how reporters treated Biden and former President Obama and how they have been treating President Trump.
"The difference between the tenor of the questions to Biden compared to the questions asked of Trump is striking," Fleischer tweeted. "After 8 years of going easy on Obama, almost 4 years of being brutal to Trump, the MSM [mainstream media] seems happy to go easy again." Click here for more.
