Biden told reporters around noon that he was doing a ‘major press conference’ this afternoon. They were surprised because Biden hasn’t mentioned this before and he hasn’t done one in a long time:
Biden: “I’m doing a major press conference this afternoon.”

President Biden has not held a solo press conference this year.
He just told reporters he will hold a “major press conference” this afternoon.

Here’s the video:
Biden to the press: "I'm doing a major press conference this afternoon, so I love you all, but I'd like to ask you to leave."

But it turns out that senile Biden didn’t know what he was talking about.
There is no major press conference happening:
UPDATE: White House officials say the president misspoke. No press conference this afternoon. https://t.co/O6JtCka1IL

At ease. The president was referring to his MSNBC interview tonight when he said he was delivering a "major" press conference this afternoon, per 2 ppl familiar.

It’s pretty bad when Biden can’t distinguish between a press conference and an interview.
And I was looking forward to someone asking him about those job loss revisions we saw this morning.
I’m loving Biden saying he’s doing a major press conference but then the White House is like, no, grandpa was off his meds and thinks it’s 1937 again.

Yep. That’s why he’s not doing solo press conferences anymore.
