Karine Jean-Pierre won’t address new polling that shows rank-and-file Teamsters members overwhelmingly back President Trump
ABC’s Mary Bruce: “And can I get your reaction or the President’s reaction to the Senate’s move yesterday failing to advance a bill to protect IVF?”
KJP: “Look, I mean, the President — we put out a statement on that. I talked about it at the top just yesterday. It’s shameful. It’s shameful that the — that I think more than 40 Republican Senators decided not to give protections to IVF and the reason that bill is even put on the floor for a vote is because of what Republicans did — the former President did in — in — um — in undoing Roe v. Wade with the Dobbs decision … you know — Republicans are walking it or getting in the way and so, this is something when you think about”
ABC’s Mary Bruce: “You’ve described the Fed’s announcement today as a moment of progress, but just to put a finer point on it, does the President agree with the assessment of many that this cut essentially declares that the battle on inflation is won?”
KJP: “I mean, look, all we have to do is — I don’t even have to look at or speak to what the Fed has done. I mean, the data shows — right — the — the — the fact is that we have seen inflation coming down. That is something that we have seen in the data that I continuously talk about — speak about from here, whether it’s from me or my colleagues who join us — who join me — you know, — join us in this room. And so — um — it is obvious — it is obvious — uh — that — uh — we have seen — uh — interest rates — uh — have fallen, that inflation have [sic] fallen, and so you know — um — I’m going to let the Fed obviously speak to more specifics about their decision, their monetary decision, but we have seen inflation going down. I think that’s important. That’s important to the American people. That’s important for a — families, for businesses, and so, I think the progress you — the progress being made at this time is — is critical, and we have said this was coming. I — I stated earlier that there was a time where folks were saying that we needed a — a — recession, and this is proven through the president’s economic policy and what he’s been able to do that we didn’t need to do that, right? We needed to make sure that we, we really focused on the needs of the American people.”
KJP on the Teamsters not endorsing Kamala Harris: “So look, I — I’m not going to get into endorsements — uh — from any organization including today the Teamsters. That is certainly something that the campaign could speak to. Uh — as you know, this is a President and a Vice President that has fought hard for unions throughout their administration. This administration in the past 3.5 years, he has been called the most pro-union President ever. The President is very proud to — to have that — have that title, if you will, and let’s not forget he’s brought American manufacturing back home, creating close to 800,000 manufacturing jobs and by creating the first Made in America office and so, these are things that he’s incredibly proud of, and he believes if you know — you know, the union labor built the middle class. You hear him say that all the time. Uh — and so, can’t speak to any sort of endorsements. That’s for the campaign to speak to directly, but this is a president who has bas — really has — has put when it comes to — uh — union — uh — and bringing — bringing jobs back to — uh — back to America. He has put that front and center of his economy — of his economic policy.”
