ABC’s Karen Travers: “We’ve heard the President say recently and the summer that the — former President Trump’s vision for America is dark and it’s not who we are. But given the results on Tuesday night, does he think he misjudged where the country is right now?”

KJP: “Look, the country spoke. They did. Majority of the country spoke. They were very clear on where they wanted to see the direction of this country and we’re going to respect that. We are — we’re going to respect that. But to your question about what the President said, the President always believes it is important to be honest. He sees it as an obligation to be honest to the American people and that’s what you heard from the president that sat there, but again, American people made a decision. We’re going to respect that. We’re going to have a peaceful transfer of power. That is something the President is going to lead, right? He’s going to lead by example. That’s what you’re going to continue to see in the next 74 days.”

CNN’s Kayla Tausche: “You talked about the influence that the 2022 midterms had on the President’s thinking to decide to run for reelection. But, around that time in 2023, polls showed that roughly 80 percent of Americans believed at that time that the President was too old to serve another term. Did he believe those voters were wrong?”

KJP: “What he believed is what 14 million voters decided in the primary — to make him and the Vice President, obviously she was on the ticket, the nominee. That’s what happened. 14 million — uh — for — for this current past primary. 14 million Americans decided that, so they made their decision on who they wanted. They did. That was decided. Um — now, as we know, in July, the President made a decision to step aside, and he immediately again decided to without thought — without, you know, second guessing — uh — endorsed the Vice President. So you had 14 million Americans who made that decision in the primary.”

CNN’s Kayla Tausche: “But around that time in 2023, the President’s team also very firmly encouraged other rising stars, luminaries in the party, people who had participated in the primaries in the 2020 cycle — um — to rally behind the President and not to consider their own ambitions. Was that the wrong call?”

KJP: “I’m not going to get into conversations. I — I — I’m not going to get into that — uh— reporting. It is not unusual for people to rally behind the — uh — the leader of the party in this case is Don — pardon me — in this case is Biden for the Democratic Party. It is not unusual for that to happen. Uh — I’m not going to relitigate or get into — uh — what was said, not said. I actually don’t have any information on that. ”
