KJP: Dodges Re-Election Campaign; OMB: student loan forgiveness saved it in this bill


On 5/30/2023, Karine Jean-Pierre Repeatedly Dodges On If Biden Has Any Plans To Hold Re-Election Campaign Event
KJP said to Fox News reporter Peter Doocy, “Go ahead, Peter. I haven’t seen you since Japan.”
Reporter: Nice to see you again.
KJP: Oh, yeah. I’m sure. (Laughs.)
Reporter: You can say it’s nice to see me too.
KJP: It’s nice to see you, too, Peter.

Doocy: It’s been more than a month since the re-election announcement. Is President Biden going to hold a campaign event ever?

KJP: So, I will say this to you, Peter: As you know, we follow the rule of law here. We believe in following the rule of law as it relates — hold on — as it relates —

Doocy: I’m not asking you to weigh in on the impact of an election —
KJP: I’m — I’m about —
Doocy: — just his schedule.
KJP: I’m — I’m —
Doocy: : You’ll have to schedule around rallies.

KJP: I’m — I’m about to answer your question here. As it relates to anything that — that is connected to the campaign, any rallies, any events, any — any endorsement, anything that is connected to the 2024 re-election, that is not going to certainly come from here. That is going to come from his campaign or the DNC — and/or the DNC.

Doocy: So you can’t say if he will be campaigning for re-election.
KJP: I’m just not going to comment from here
Doocy: Okay.
KJP: — on 2024 re-election.
Doocy: Another story.
KJP: The Hatch Act does exist.

Q: AI poses an extinction risk A: we have been very clear
Doocy: A group of experts now say that AI poses an extinction risk right up there with nuclear war and a pandemic. Does President Biden agree?

KJP: What I can say — you’re speaking to the letter that was provided today, made public. And so, look, the President and the Vice President has been very clear on this: As it relates to AI, it is one of the most powerful technologies — right? — that we see currently in our time … there’s a letter that went out today from — from Elon Musk and CEOs. I will let the public read that letter. But, again, we have been very clear on that — how companies need to be responsible in — as it relates to AI.

Q: student loan forgiveness? A: even though GOPs sought to end it, we saved it in this bill
Reporter: Can you explain to student loan borrowers, who might be confused about what’s been agreed to here, how the Supreme Court decision may implicate that and explain the President’s continued commitment to forgiveness now?

MS. YOUNG: Yeah … Supreme Court will opine on the President’s action to forgive $10,000 in student debt and $20,000 for those with Pell Grants. But in this bill, even though House Republicans’ bill sought to do away with that, we saved it in this bill. So there’s nothing on that in this bill. We also protected the income-driven repayment rule, which if anyone has had student loans knows it was not — it did not work as intended. And this rule is intended to really tie payments to true income … The one thing is: This bill does end the payment pause. But very close to the timeframe, we were going to end it, as an administration, when it comes to repayment.

Karine Jean-Pierre: Biden “Said From The Beginning That He Would Negotiate With Republicans”
KJP said, “the President said from the beginning that he would negotiate with Republicans on a budget just like it has been done every year. He directed his team to work in good faith toward a reasonable, bipartisan agreement … President successfully protected core Democratic priorities and the historic — historic economic progress that we have made over the last two years.”

Q: expanding the work requirements terrible policy? A: new exemptions, more on welfare
Reporter: The chair in the Progressive Caucus says that it’s really unfortunate that you are expanding the work requirements for this particular age group. She says it’s terrible policy. I know that you’ve been working the phones speaking to a number of members of, I assume, the Progressive Caucus trying to convince them that this is good policy. Is she right about that, that this is bad policy?

MS. YOUNG: … you heard me answer on SNAP. There’s a very real possibility, when we see the numbers, that the number who are phased in, who have new requirements on SNAP, is offset by the number who will now be covered under the new exemptions.

It was starting to get hot; I didn’t think she wanted to leave for a second
KJP: All right, thank you so much, Director Young. Appreciate you.
MS. YOUNG: All right, thank you. It was starting to get hot. (Laughter.)
KJP: It gets hot —
MS. YOUNG: It’s the lights.
KJP: — up under these lights.
MS. YOUNG: All right, thanks so much. Thank you.
KJP: Thank you. I didn’t think she wanted to leave for a second. (Laughter.)

Q: talk about what you lost on? A: Allow Republicans curbing of spending flatlined
Reporter: Yeah, you talk about this as a compromise. I’m
