President Joe Biden will participate in another one-on-one interview, this time with NBC News anchor Lester Holt on Monday.

The Democratic party's presidential candidate will sit with Holt in Austin, Texas, NBC announced. The exclusive interview will air as a prime-time special on NBC and NBC News NOW on Monday, July 15 at 9 p.m. ET.

"No, no one said I had to. They said I'm good," Biden said, adding that he takes a cognitive test "every single day" to fulfill his responsibilities as president.

Biden maintains a short list of televised interviews since taking office and currently holds the record for the fewest press conferences and media interviews held by presidents in over 40 years.
