Karine Jean-Pierre says she’s “not gonna comment” on the resignation of disgraced former Harvard president Claudine Gay

Reporter: on the federal debt. I want to ask you about it. So, I heard you blame the Republicans for the federal debt, but President Biden has been in office for 35 months. And over the past three months, the U.S. has added $10 billion per day to the federal debt. So — and that’s not turning around. So, is there a discussion here about cutting spending then?

KJP: Republican tax cuts are — are responsible for 90 percent — 90 percent of the increase in the debt. Ninety percent. That is something that Republicans are responsible for.

What the President has done — what the President has done — and you’ve heard us talk about it. I just talked about this. He’s put forth legislation, like lowering the deficit by $1 trillion. And that’s part of the lowering prescription drug costs and cracking down on — on the wealthy tax cheats. That’s what he’s done. You know, $1.5 trillion — again, another way to lower the deficit … And meanwhile — yeah, you know what? The GOP and congressional Republicans — what they want to do is they want to continue with their MAGAnomics. What they’ve proposed will add $3 trillion to the debt. That’s — that’s the numbers. You’re a data guy. That’s the numbers. That’s what we have seen.

Reporter: on the border. The Vice President is in Los Angeles — I’m sorry — went to Los Angeles to Las Vegas today. And the House Speaker is along the border. Does the President still have confidence that the Vice President can get to the root causes of the migration to stop the flow?

KJP: The — the President sees the Vice President as a partner. She’s a partner with him on all of the — all of the successes that we have seen, what we’ve been able to do the first — the first term in this administration — the first three years of this administration … whether it’s dealing with climate change; whether it’s Bidenomics, dealing with the economy — that is something that he has done in partnership with the Vice President. So, he has all confidence in her and will continue to do so.

Reporter: And the border?

KJP: He has confidence in the — in the Vice President. I answered your question.

Reporter: With the additional indictment of Senator Menendez, does the President think the senator should resign?

KJP: That’s up to him. That’s — that’s a decision that he needs to make. And obviously, it’s a serious matter. And he thinks it was the right thing that he stepped down his chairmanship. As — on anything else to your question, that’s something for the senator to decide on.

Reporter: Just broadly, though, does the President trust the senator? And is —

KJP: That is —

Reporter: Has the senator been cut off by the White House communications at all?

KJP: I’m not — no going to get into any private discussions here at the White House. But that is something — as it relates to him resigning, that is something that the senator has to deal with.

Q: Should Democrat Sen. Bob Menendez should resign?
KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: “That’s up to him”
