Families can’t afford gas and groceries, the border is a humanitarian crisis, and violent crime is leaving communities hopeless. As Biden parties with Washington and Hollywood elites, they have turned their backs on the problems they’ve created. The White House press is partying with a president who has been the least accessible in decades. Joe Biden has now gone nearly three months without doing a press interview."
