“President Trump plans to pare back his coronavirus press conferences,” Axios reports.

“As soon as next week, he may stop appearing daily and make shorter appearances when he does.”

“A number of Trump’s most trusted advisers — both inside and outside the White House — have urged him to stop doing marathon televised briefings. They’ve told him he’s overexposed and these appearances are part of the reason polls aren’t looking good for him right now against Joe Biden.”

I know some people here have been wanting the press to stop airing them, but I think they often feel like a Biden campaign ad. From what I've read Biden's campaign feels the same way.
