President Donald Trump claimed the media is giving Democratic Presidential challenger Joe Biden a “pass” on the issue of whether Biden will officially get the nomination, and is ignoring the work the Trump administration has been doing.

“We’ve gotten very little credit for the great job we’ve done, because the media is not an honest media, much of it. Not all of it. We have some great reporters. I have tremendous respect. Much of the media is not honest. So I can't tell you about the election. You have a Democrat party and you have a large portion of the media automatically giving the guy (Biden) a pass,” Trump said during a Thursday press conference.

“He's been given a pass whether or not he's going to be the nominee. I have no idea. But he's getting a pass and the media isn't covering the great job that we've done.”

Earlier in the press conference when asked about whether COVID concerns may impact turnout for the election, Trump referred to Biden as “a sleepy guy in the basement.”

“I can’t tell you what's going to happen. We have a sleepy guy in the basement of the house that the press is giving a free pass to, who doesn't want to do debates because of COVID, and lots of things are happening, right? “ Trump said.

“And I watched a couple of interviews and I say oh, I look forward to this - but they're keeping him sheltered because of the Coronavirus. And he is not moving around. He is not moving too much. And then I watch what the press does to the Republican Party, and to me in particular.”
