Jen Psaki might not be the White House press secretary anymore — but she still has some advice for President Joe Biden when it comes to getting his political message across to the American people.
On this morning’s episode of The View, Psaki addressed the recent New York Times report claiming Biden has done the fewest interviews and press availabilities of any president since Ronald Reagan.
“I think the benefit of the media environment right now … is that there are so many choices,” Psaki said. “When you’re communicating from the White House, I mean, respect for freedom of speech and freedom of the press is important, but you’re also just trying to communicate with the American people.”
She added, “So my view is, he should come on The View before he does a press conference.”
Psaki — who served as Biden’s press secretary from 2021 to 2022 — said more outside interviews would appeal to the American people who “want to have real conversations about issues that are happening.”
“I think press conferences are important, but I also think him doing Howard Stern — that’s an interview that reached a broader audience of people,” she explained. “Him talking to the guys from SmartLess, which is a great podcast.”
Psaki continued, “If you’re in the White House, you’re not thinking about: am I checking the box on doing the most interviews? You’re thinking about: am I doing the most I can do to communicate my message to the American people? That’s who I represent.”
She concluded, “So I would say more Howard Stern. Come on The View. More SmartLess conversations where you’re having conversations about policy but they’re real ones that people have at their kitchen table.”
Psaki’s suggestion might just come true. In an April interview with Deadline, The View’s executive producer Brian Teta teased that they are working on getting Biden to the Hot Topics table.
“I think he will be on,” Teta said. “We’re in contact with the White House. We don’t have anything to announce yet. But my hope and really my expectation is that he’ll be here during the election.”
The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
