<p>President Joe Biden&#8217;s team bumped his scheduled &#8220;Big Boy&#8221; news conference to 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, immediately prompting users to flood X — formerly Twitter — with possible reasons for the delay.</p>
<p>A number suggested that the move had been made in order to accommodate an afternoon nap in the hopes that Biden would be sharper than usual — and others cautioned that even that was a risk, since the later the news conference went, the closer it would get to the president&#8217;s bedtime.</p>
<p>&#8220;BIDEN&#8217;s presser tonight is now 6:30p,&#8221; Jake Sherman announced, and the replies poured in.</p>
<p>Students for Life President Kristan Hawkins commented, &#8220;Gotta say, I love the move. Very strategic, and smart to give himself a hard out at 6:45 with an excuse that people will believe: it&#8217;s bed time.&#8221;</p>

<p>And while most of the comments focused on whether or not Biden would be napping prior to the press conference or heading straight to bed afterward, a few picked up on another possible reason for choosing 6:30 p.m. specifically: that&#8217;s when evening newscasts air on the east coast, meaning that a presidential news conference would not finish in time for the local stations to cover it.</p>
<p>&#8220;The network evening newscasts air at this time on the East Coast&#8230; in case you&#8217;re wondering why they chose this exact time,&#8221; Joe Concha said.</p>

<p>Newsbusters managing editor Curtis Houck had the same idea, which he explained further in a thread.</p>
<p>&#8220;With the White House moving Biden&#8217;s press conference back another hour to 6:30 p.m. Eastern, this allows them to further bury it. Why? Stick with me for a second,&#8221; he began.</p>

<p>&#8220;The network evening newscasts on ABC, CBS, and NBC air at 6:30 and, if it had been earlier in the day like originally planned, they&#8217;d have a story,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Now, they can bypass them for primetime cable shows. ABC, CBS, and NBC shows won&#8217;t truly have a set of reactions until Friday AM.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">AND, because of this, ABC, CBS, NBC aren&#8217;t as likely to carry it given they have newscast to air, meaning fewer people will see it.</p>

<p>&#8220;AND, because of this, ABC, CBS, NBC aren&#8217;t as likely to carry it given they have newscast to air, meaning fewer people will see it,&#8221; he concluded, adding later, &#8220;But at this point, anything they can do to shrink the audience that will see this thing in full and unvarnished (i.e. without watching news reports later), they&#8217;re going to do it.&#8221;</p>
