President Biden, arriving late to an event, declined to take questions, stating he would return later. He humorously mentioned giving up reporters for Lent when asked. Biden avoided press questions by jokingly saying he was giving them up for Lent.
Biden, after a day of nothing on his public schedule, shuffles around the White House grounds. He ignores questions from the press — except to say he's giving them up for Lent. https://t.co/iC7o1qZ5t6
President Biden, asked tonight what he was giving up for Lent this year, told reporters: "You guys." Via pooler @nielslesniewski
Asked what he's giving up for Lent, Biden told reporters at the White House: “You guys.”
Biden walks away without taking questions, says he will come back later and answer questions. So that went well.
Biden — an hour late to his own event (did he forget?) — starts talking as he shuffles to the lectern. He says he won't be taking questions. https://t.co/a3eaVFZgTK
