How to watch President Joe Biden's first 2022 press conference
President Biden is holding his first press conference of 2022 on Wednesday, January 19, the eve of the first anniversary of when he took office. The press conference comes as his presidency — and the country — is struggling amid the Omicron
COVID-19 surge and rising inflation, and as his signature legislation, Build Back Better, is stalled in Congress.
CBSN will carry Mr. Biden's press conference live.
A CBS News poll released Sunday showed that 50% of Americans are "frustrated" by his presidency so far, followed by 49% who are "disappointed" and 40% who are nervous. Just 25% said they are "calm" and 23% said they are "satisfied."
Mr. Biden's overall approval rating is 44%, a drop from the approval rating in the 60s at the start of his presidency. His
approval fell after the Afghanistan withdrawal, sagged as inflation and COVID cases rose and has not rebounded.
But the president admitted one of his signature pieces of legislation, Build Back Better, will probably have to be broken up into smaller pieces to pass the Senate.
