WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Wednesday will try to talk anxious Americans through the challenges of delivering on his lengthy to-do list as he holds a rare news conference to mark his first year in office and asks for patience with recent setbacks to his lofty agenda.
In advance of the session, set for 4 p.m. EST on his 365th day in office, Biden gave no indication that he felt a reset was in order. But his appearance was playing out on the same day that prolonged Democratic efforts to overhaul the nation’s voter laws appeared set to go down in flames on Capitol Hill and as Biden’s massive social spending package remains stalled.
The East Room event will offer Biden an opportunity to spotlight his accomplishments before a national audience, and he was sure to highlight the bipartisan infrastructure law enacted on his watch, a roaring economy and the country’s progress against COVID-19.
The White House said Biden would use his appearance to highlight progress made but also to “level” with the public about the challenges ahead.
“The work is not done, the job is not done, and we are certainly not conveying it is,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Tuesday. “So, our objective, and I think what you’ll hear the president talk about tomorrow, is how to build on the foundation we laid in the first year.”

What progress?
Setbacks = disasters caused by incompetent Joe and his even more incompetent administration.
Well, that "foundation" you speak of was laid on sand.
ROTFLMAO! Is going to hold his “full” press conference in a basement in Delaware?
“Lengthy to do list.” “Lofty agenda.” This is insanity, even by Asspress standards.
Why is he asking domestic enemies for patience?
He slandered millions of Americans.
Or at the fake White House?
This “press conference” will be another highly staged event with scripted questions & answers
Just give up already.
Progress? Should be a short speech.
Quick sand, to be precise.
Everything is going according to their evil plans.
All of FJB’s progress so far has been retrograde…I’d prefer he just hang up his hat and head off to the pasture.
Destroying the country is taking longer than they expected.
Yep
“We’ve made great progress, but our work is not done and we realize that. We will work harder to get Americans the voting rights that they deserve. (LIE) We will pass Build back better to get our economy going (LIE) and we will finally end this pandemic (It’s dying on its own in a couple months). “
Boring, no admitting of failure, everything is done right, just need to work harder on our “plan”.
The wide open border isn’t a “setback” for Biden’s puppet masters. Neither is leaving the Taliban $85 bil of American equipment. Neither is the perpetual pandemic. Neither is the forfeiting of our energy independence.
Then all they said during the campaign is how smart they were and they could fix these problems in a snap of a finger.
They want patience? How about an apology and a resignation.
Socialism works, ee just haven't had the time to fully implement it.
