#shorts On 7/18/2023, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “one more on Tuberville. After President Biden made those remarks in Helsinki, the senator said that “[t]here’s no chance of changing my position if we don’t sit down and visit.” So why doesn’t the President sit down with him and try to hash this out?

KJP: Why does the senator continue to do something that is — that has been done in the past in a historically bipartisan way? Why? Why make this political? Why politicize and make it partisan? That is something that this senator, Senator Tuberville, to be — to be specific — has done.

Reporter: So just to be clear, when the President said that he would sit down with Tuberville if he thought there was any possibility he would change his ridiculous position, that was the President saying “no”?

KJP: What I’m saying is: This has been historically — hist- — historically a bipartisan bill. And so — which has been made recklessly partisan. That’s what I’m saying. And it’s hurting our ability to recruit. It’s hurting our ability to retain the strongest and most diverse military that we have in the world.
