Q There are concerns that the Big Tech layoffs and the banking layoffs will spill over into the broader economy. When the President speaks about the economy tomorrow, how will he address those fears and the fears of a recession?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Ed, look, we understand — we understand, you know, the fears.

Q To follow up, you said the President wants to work in a bipartisan way. He said this week that he has “no intention of letting the Republicans wreck our economy” was his — his words. Does the administration view calling out Republicans as an effective tool when dealing with recession?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: So, I’ll say this — and I’ve talked — I’ve talked about this before … he’s also going to call out Republicans … And the President has said that he’s going to fight every day to protect — to protect those programs that taxpayers pay into.

MS.
