Karine Jean-Pierre Can’t Say If Biden Has Considered State Of Emergency Over NYC Migrants
Reporter: New York City Mayor Eric Adams has asked the White House to declare a state of emergency over asylum seekers. Is that something the President is considering?

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: … to address the migrant issues. As you know, we have provided this — the — we have provided New York City with $100 million to — to sup- — to help them support — to help that support to be available hopefully in the coming weeks. And so, we take this very seriously. We’re in continuous — continuing to have that conversation. I don’t have anything else to add beyond that. But we are literally in conversation with them almost on a daily basis, as — as you heard from Tom Perez, who is — who — who’s an advisor to the President and — and briefs us regularly on those conversations.

Reporter: Okay. And quickly, does “we” include the President? Has he been in touch with — with the Mayor?

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: I don’t have any conversations to read out from the President. I can say that our offices here — the Intergovernmental Affairs Office that’s led by Tom Perez is in regular con- — conversation with the ci- — with the mayor of New York City and also the governor of the state as well. I think I have to roll because the President — the pre-pre-program is starting for the President’s remarks.

Manchin: manipulated IRA implementation to push radical climate agenda A: he has disagreed a little bit
PODESTA: in red sta- — districts, purple districts, blue districts, it will be very hard to walk away from that. And so, I — I — I think — I am quite confident that as the public really — again, as Neera said — begins to feel the presence of this law in their lives, particularly on that workforce side, it’s here to stay.

Reporter: Can you address some criticism from Senator Joe Manchin, who obviously was a key part of passing this but won’t be here today? He’s talked about the implementation being manipulated to push a radical climate agenda. I wonder if you wanted to address that.

MR. PODESTA: … he has disagreed a little bit with — with some of those interpretations, but I think we are operating in good faith to get guidance out as quickly as possible so that these people have the confidence that they can make these long-term 10-year investments that are included in the act.

Q: resumption of student loan payments A: Biden student debt relief to buy a home or to do things
Reporter: Target, the major retailer, today warned that the resumption of student loan payments in the coming months could be a drag on consumer spending. So, how is the White House considering interest repayments to loan repayments in its view of the economy in the coming months?

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: So, look, when the President put forth his student debt relief, obviously, it was part of his broader economic plan — right? … that they then would give back to the economy — right? — or be able to buy a home or able to — to do things that actually build back the economy. And so, there are benefits on both sides. I — I can’t speak directly to the Target question. I have not seen that reporting. But I can speak broadly to what the President thinks and how he sees that particular plan moving forward and what we’re trying to do as it relates to student loan debt.

Q: student loan payments undo some economic progress he’s been out touting? A: IRA etc
Reporter: Are you worried that because his broader plan now isn’t really moving forward it will undo some of the economic progress that he’s been out touting?

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Oh, no. Not at all. I mean, we just talked about the Inflation Reduction Act, we’ve talked about the CHIPS and Science Act, we talked about the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. We heard — you heard the President in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and other places. We saw him in New Mexico talking about climate change and extreme weather. Podesta just talked about South Carolina — his trip to South Carolina, recently.

The President has gone across the country, talking to, speaking about … real data points. Inflation is moderating. Again, real data points. And you think about some — a law like the Inflation Reduction Act that’s going to lower costs. We’re talking about healthcare, prescription drugs, insulin capped at $35 a month — when you think about our seniors. And so, all of these things are incredibly important. This is part — all part of the President’s broader plan here. Clearly, the student loan is a major factor. And we’re going to continue to try to make sure that we live up to what the President promised …
