The president granted less than half as many interviews with journalists in 2022 as he did in 2021. Last year, he spoke with news organizations 15 times, including three CNN town halls.

While the White House touts how Biden occasionally takes spontaneous questions shouted at him from reporters at various events, the president has rarely held formal press conferences. In 2022, he only held five solo press conferences (he held six in 2021) and seven joint press conferences (three in 2021), according to data from UC Santa Barbara's The American Presidency Project.

Biden's combined 12 press conferences fall short of his closest predecessors in their second year in office, Donald Trump's 18 press conferences (five solo, 13 joint) and Barack Obama's 19 (10 solo, nine joint), data shows. No president has done fewer press conferences in their second year in office than Biden since former President Reagan.

The White House did not respond to a request for comment.
