CNN host Jake Tapper on Friday pressed Democratic Congressman Robert Garcia of California about President Joe Biden’s decision to skip a traditional interview during Sunday’s Super Bowl.
Biden has decided to skip an interview ahead of Super Bowl III, which will be broadcast on CBS on Sunday, marking the second year in a row he has declined to appear. Biden was absent from a pre-interview for Super Bowl LII, which will be broadcast on FOX in 2023, reportedly because he did not want to be interviewed by a FOX News anchor.

“Do you think he needs to get out more to get people to see him?” Tapper asked Garcia. “He hasn’t done a traditional Super Bowl interview on the network that hosts the Super Bowl, this year on CBS. It’s understandable that he didn’t do it on Fox last year, but this year on CBS, he hasn’t done that. That sends a signal to people. What is he afraid of when he does that interview?”

“He’s an active, busy, bright guy,” Garcia added. “I think that’s the important thing. It’s important to really look at the track record and results of the Biden/Harris administration, and there’s plenty of that. So that’s really the focus. Adjusting the president’s schedule and things like that. I don’t think it’s our job to figure out what the president will or won’t do.”
Biden’s age and mental health have been called into question following a number of gaffes and false statements.
