The Biden campaign Instagram account announced on Wednesday that they would be hosting an “Ask Me Anything” session, where followers could submit questions to Biden for honest responses. The problem is, nearly 48 hours later, not a single question has been answered.
As we’ve seen in recent months, Joe Biden has been practically hiding in his basement, and rarely gives interviews or does live events. But this “Ask Me Anything” event made the campaign look even worse.
“AMAs” were popularized on Reddit, and usually occur in real time. A person typically posts on a forum saying “Ask me anything”, and then responds to every question as they are being asked. The Biden campaign chose to post: “I’m answering your questions. Ask me anything!” on Instagram late Tuesday night. Instagram’s platform only allows users to ask questions on a story post for 24 hours.
According to the New York Post, “As of Thursday morning, Biden has not yet answered any questions, and the story has expired. He has, however, posted nine pictures, videos, and other graphics to his profile since uploading the story telling his followers he would be answering questions.”
This is typical for the Biden campaign at this point. Last week, Biden promised to hold an extended question and answer session for the media. Instead, he used more than a half hour of the time to give his opening remarks, which left only 20 minutes for media questions.
