Do you know if the President believes there is any sort of reason for concern on that point specifically?”

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: … the President has found him to be an impressive individual and — who is just as capable as al- — who has been — who’s just as capable as always, and who is — who is carrying out his office. He’s currently the Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania, as we know, and he’s doing that with great ability and heartfelt concern for the people of the Commonwealth. So, yes, the President feels that he is — he is very much capable of doing the job.
