Presidential News Conferences

Presidents use a variety of avenues to interact with the Press. The table below tally “Solo-Reg” conferences, which are simply news conferences with the President alone and were broadcast live (note that these did not all occur in prime time). Also tallied separately is the number of conferences billed as Joint, where the President appears together with one or more non-U.S. speakers, often a foreign head of state.

In her first UK interview, Kamala Harris entertained the idea of a 2028 run for president. She told Laura Kuenssberg she would “possibly” run and is confident that her grandnieces will see a woman in the White House.
