The interview will take place at the Grand Canyon in Arizona, shortly after Biden's remarks designating a new national monument for the greater Grand Canyon region.Biden rarely sits for televised interviews, with his most recent happening in June with NBC News's Nicolle Wallace.
The Biden administration issued the first-ever"hazard alert" for heat in late July as the country grappled with historic temperatures. "I don’t think anybody can deny the impact of climate change anymore. There used to be a time when I first got here, a lot of people said, 'Oh, it’s not a problem.' Well, I don’t know anybody — well, I shouldn’t say that — I don’t know anybody who honestly believes climate change is not a serious problem," Biden said when announcing the alert.
Asked Tuesday why the president is choosing to sit for an interview with the Weather Channel, White House officials said it's important to meet voters"where they are." "Today at the Grand Canyon, the President will tape an interview on his plan to combat climate change, addressing the threat posed by extreme weather and to promote resilience," White House communications director Ben LaBolt said in a statement."Meeting viewers where they are — including those who don’t tune into political news on a regular basis."The Weather Channel will air Biden's interview in full Wednesday morning starting at 6 a.m. EDT.
