By Jeremy Perillo
Roughly 64 days after being sworn in as President of the United States, Joe Biden held his first press conference in the East Room of the White House. The President addressed a range of topics from his re-election plans to how his administration is attempting to remedy the immigration hurdles the country is facing.
President Biden started the press event by announcing the change in his 100 million shots in his first 100 days plan, to 200 million shots within the same time frame. The administration reached the original achievement the week before the press conference, after only fifty-eight days in office. As of March 30, 131 million shots have been administered, giving the president thirty days to reach the remaining sixty-nine million shots.
