LIVE: Joe Biden Takes Questions in Surprise Appearance at White House Briefing | USA LIVE | CNBC TV18
President Joe Biden made a surprise appearance at the White House press briefing, touching on the end of the port strike and the latest jobs report.
The president has been out of the public eye for weeks since he dropped out of the race and tapped Vice President Kamala Harris to replace him.
The briefing comes a day after President Biden traveled to Florida and Georgia in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene’s destruction. During his visit, Biden pressed for unity amid the recovery period.
It also follows a tentative agreement made between the International Longshoremen’s Association union and U.S. Maritime Alliance Thursday evening to end a two-day strike. The president hailed the agreement, arguing that collective bargaining works and is essential to the economy.
