3. Weekly vs. daily pressers

No matter how good these pressers would go, I think people would get tired of seeing Biden everyday just like everyone is getting tired of seeing crazy Trump everyday. It probably would generate a fair amount of anticipation if the presser was held once a week, especially at the beginning of the week because then Trump would have to spend the rest of the week responding to Biden. He should not do it at the end of the week when people are not paying attention and would forget about it over the weekend.

Besides, I think Biden has other work to do to prepare for the election. Like choose an outstanding VP candidate as his running mate.

Trump, on the other hand, never does any work. He just tweets, throws tantrums, and golfs. Spends his time trying stay in the news, no matter how wacko the things he does are.

Biden could focus each press conference on a topic such as having world-renowned epidemiologists explain how disease spreads.

I would try to incorporate at least one segment in the introduction that could be clipped and used for weekly TV and internet ads.

Also, he could do the pressers in Delaware, which is close enough to Washington, DC to attract the DC press up there once a week.
