Biden’s press team REFUSES to let president take questions from reporters during his trip to swing state Michigan

President Joe Biden’s team quickly ushered members of the press away when he asked to answer questions during a campaign stop in Michigan.

Biden, 81, visited the city of Saginaw on Thursday to speak with volunteers supporting his re-election bid. Since 1992, greater Saginaw County has chosen the statewide winner in every election.

Biden’s itinerary included a visit to a Victorian mansion owned by members of the Saginaw City Council and the Saginaw Public Schools Board of Education.

At that stop, Biden stood on the porch with his back to reporters, who were out of earshot during his conversation with supporters. ‘Can I ask you a few questions?’ he asked.

“We’re going to answer a few questions,” said a woman in a Biden-Harris jacket.

But the staffers raised their arms and walked toward the crowd, repeating, “Thanks, press, back to the cars.”

He stood with his back to the reporters and asked if he could answer a few questions before members of his team shooed the journalists away

A campaign official later said reporters were unable to hear the president’s comments because of a logistical problem and that the slight was not intentional.

Biden’s second event took place at a public golf course called Pleasant View on the edge of town.

Reporters, who were themselves denied entry, watched as Biden entered the golf clubhouse.

The sitting president ignored a question about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on his way in.

On the golf course he met Hurley Coleman III, executive director of the Saginaw County Community Action Center, and his 13-year-old son.

The Saginaw trip followed stops in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Along with Michigan, these states are collectively known as a “blue wall” because of their historic support for Democrats.

A day earlier, Biden stopped in Milwaukee, where he invested $3.3 billion in infrastructure projects in underserved communities.

This included $36 million to reconnect portions of Milwaukee’s 6th Street, which was divided by freeway construction in the 1960s.

Funding for the project comes from the bipartisan infrastructure bill signed into law in the first year of his presidency.

Michigan has been a reliably blue state since the 1990s, and the balance has shifted in 2016, when Trump became the first Republican candidate to win the state since 1988.

Biden won the state by a comfortable margin in the last presidential election.

However, leaders from both parties have said it will be virtually impossible for either candidate to win the presidency without a victory in Michigan.

Trump made his own trip last month, when he spoke for more than an hour in a hangar at the Waterford Township airport.

The former president denounced government leaders’ move to accelerate the auto industry’s transition from gasoline to electric vehicles, even bringing an auto worker to the stage.

“It’s a terrible, horrible thing that’s happening,” Trump claimed. ‘You’re talking about democracy. This is a terrible threat to democracy.”

Other grievances included inflation and security at the southern border, two hot-button issues with voters.

Trump delivered his impassioned speech 10 days before the state’s Feb. 27 Republican primary, saying, “If we win Michigan, we win the election.”

He ultimately won with 68.1% of the votes.

That margin was even wider for Biden, who cruised to victory with a landslide of 81.1% in the state’s Democratic primary.
