The briefing from the 13th (now on the second page of that site) was extremely detailed and focused on this topic. Worth reading if you’d like to know more. But be prepared for a fair amount of “we don’t know yet.”

The question you raised (“can we hear directly from the President?”) does get asked, although the answer is basically “we can’t speak for the President’s speaking schedule, but he’s closely involved in the decision making.”

Personally, I don’t see what hearing from Biden directly would add.
