President Joe Biden is holding his first press conference since taking office. The news conference was slated to start after 1:15 p.m. ET in the East Room of the White House.

It's an early test of his public relations skills on the heels of a week that contained two separate mass shootings. Biden has been advocating for stronger gun control laws since the tragedies. He will also likely face questions about his $1.9 trillion relief package and a new wave of migrants at the southern border.

The conference will be streamed on most news outlets.
