President Joe Biden made a bizarre confession to reporters Tuesday evening, telling them he was "not supposed" to be having a press conference.

Biden addressed the press about the administration's plan to confront the omicron variant of the coronavirus, eventually changing the subject to Sen. Joe Manchin's opposition to his $2 trillion Build Back Better Act.

Biden was explaining how his plan would lower costs "across the board" before trailing off and telling reporters, “I’m not supposed to be having this press conference right now." The press-filled room immediately erupted with more questions.


Biden has made similar comments previously, uttering during a press conference in June that he would "be in trouble" if he took further questions from reporters.

"I’m sorry, I’m going to get in trouble with staff if I don’t do this the right way," Biden said before calling on more reporters for questions.

He again indicated he would be in "trouble" for taking questions during a meeting in November following the passage of the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill.

"I can take … I’m going to get in real trouble. … This is the last question I’m taking," Biden said. "You can decide who I’m pointing to," he added, before closing his eyes and pointing indiscriminately into the crowd of reporters.
