Biden Breaks off Press Questions, Says He'll Be In Trouble if He Answers

U.S. President Joe Biden said that he would be in trouble if he keeps on taking press questions during a conference on Tuesday afternoon.

He was answering questions until questions about his own mask-wearing and possible summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin was put on the table.

"I'm sorry. This is the last question I'll take, and I'm really gonna be in trouble," Biden was quoted in a Fox News report.

His statement caused a stir on social media, with one user asking "who will Biden get in trouble" for answering some press questions.

Biden has become more reserved and has limited his engagements with the media since he became president.

Biden Press Conference

Biden has discussed a number of things during his press conference, including the pandemic, his economic agenda, and vaccination rates.

Biden has urged all Americans to get vaccinated while citing new guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The new guideline stated that individuals who are fully vaccinated can resume some outdoor activities without wearing masks, according to a CBS News report.

U.S. residents 16 and older are not eligible for the vaccine. In addition, the president has set Jul. 4 as a target date for resuming some aspects of life as normal.

Biden said that there is still a long way to go in the fight against the pandemic.

But the president noted that the country has made stunning progress with the help of the American people.

About 230 million doses of the COVID vaccine have been administered, and around 54 percent of the U.S. adult population have already got at least one of their shots.

Biden said that if you are vaccinated, you can do more things, more safely, both outdoors and indoors.

Rochelle Walensky, the director of the CDC, echoed Biden's sentiments.

Walensky said that if one is already fully vaccinated against the coronavirus, they can return to normal and continue doing many activities safely.

Meanwhile, Biden is seen to allocate another $80 billion to the Internal Revenue Service.

This is part of his efforts to raise money for his economic plans.

Biden is also eyeing to ramp up IRS's efforts to crack down on individuals and corporations that evade paying federal taxes, according to The New York Times report.

The said recouped tax funds will help pay for the cost of his American Families Plan. The said plan has a price cap of $2.3 trillion.

Biden is also set to nominate Ed Gonzalez to lead Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to White House.

Gonzales is a sheriff from Texas and a known critic of the Trump administration's immigration policies.

The previous administration has had six leaders for the department but none were confirmed by the Senate.

Alejandro Mayorkas, the homeland security secretary, said that Gonzalez is eligible to lead ICE with his distinguished career in law enforcement.

Under the Biden administration, ICE agents will now have limits to arrest undocumented immigrants.
