Watch Live Now: President Obama Holds Year-End Press Conference
Now: President Barack Obama holds his annual, often jovial, year-end press conference with reporters.
Scheduled to begin at 1:50 PM EST, President Barack Obama will hold what is likely his final press conference of 2015, his annual year-end presser. The tone is usually loose and jovial, and the President often speaks at these events in a relaxed and loose but intentional manner.
Last year, to make a point, President Obama only took questions from reporters who are women.
Expected to be discussed are terrorism, the economy, the just-passed omnibus budget deal, gun control, and a review of major accomplishments of the year.
