WASHINGTON — President Trump fielded 867 more questions from reporters than Joe Biden over the last two months.
That number is five times the amount of queries that Biden answered between July 19 and Sept. 15, a review of the candidates’ interviews and briefings shows.
Trump answered a total of 1,141 questions from a Washington press corps that he maintains is openly hostile to his administration, while Biden responded to just 274 questions from local networks and liberal cable news channels like CNN and MSNBC.
During the week of Aug. 9, the president took 196 questions from journalists while Biden answered just three.
Biden has repeatedly dodged questions from embeds covering his campaign and rejected “Fox News Sunday” anchor Chris Wallace’s request for an interview in July after Trump sat for a hard-hitting interrogation with him.
Undeterred, the respected TV presenter said he would continue asking Biden’s campaign for a sit-down each week. Ironically, Wallace will moderate the first presidential debate in Cleveland later this month.
Biden took zero questions from reporters during an eight-day period in late July and early August, according to the data.
After formally introducing Kamala Harris as his vice president on Aug. 12, the septuagenarian candidate sat for just one interview — with People magazine — over another nine-day period.
Even after significantly ramping up his travel following months of total isolation in his Delaware basement, the former vice president continues to spurn questions from reporters covering his events.
He denied he was “hiding” in his basement during a May interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, saying he was trying to set an example by staying at home amid the coronavirus outbreak.

Has Biden fielded *any* reporter questions? I thought those were just teleprompter cues.
Lets put Sleepy Joe with Stepanopolis (sp)
in a town hall and compare.
I think that number is a bit low. Also, Townhall; Sleepy-Creepy hosted by Levin
And Trump is dodging only gotcha questions.
Biden has the questions ahead and the answers in a teleprompter.
I was going to say, there isn’t any multiplier of *zero* that reaches the total Trump has fielded.
And every question is in the manner of “would you say you’re a racist, a mass murderer, or both?”
Death to the corrupt media.
Trump always “fields” questions from the press. Whenever he is on his way to the chopper, he does a pass by the press and stops and answers questions. When he gets off the plane, he does the same. Unlike their Saint Barry, who never took questions from them.
Actually, Trump has fielded infinity times more questions from ‘reporters’ than Biden.
Biden’s questions are from hand-picked ‘reporters’ who have been given the scripted questions, so, those questions are not from unscripted questions, and not from hand-picked reporters.
As an example: the QA from today’s Biden ‘press conference’, had all ‘reporters’ from all left-wing media, and they all had what was apparently scripted questions for which Biden had either a teleprompter answer already, of they were softball questions that almost anybody would know the answer to.
it's at least 100/1000 times.
“”””And Trump is dodging only gotcha questions.””””
He has gotten better at avoiding questions that are only asked to get a negative soundbite.
Last night at the very end Little George asked him if he could have done anything better in the KungFlu situation.
President Trump did the right thing and just said no.
The typists who feed Joe’s teleprompter can’t keep up with Trump.
Trump should have one of his people holding a Teleprompter and casually look over and ask Joe what he thinks.
And every question to Biden is in the manner of “Trump is a racist and a mass murderer. How does that make you feel?
“...the president took 196 questions from journalists while Biden answered just three.”
What’s your name? Mr. Jill Biden?
What day is it? Purple?
Who is the current President? Hillary?
The mischief is in the word “roughly”. It is a hell of lot more than five times as many.
This is way low, and thus is disinformation. Biden fields nothing on his own.
That is Trump’s path to a soul-crushing victory over the entire Democrat machine: travel often and be seen in the media endlessly. Take tough questions, answer directly... crack a DJT joke while going for the jugular!
Be everywhere.
Americans love their wallets more than politics. DJT is good for their wallets, and gives them confidence that we can survive as a nation.
