KJP: “Do you know this is the Biden-Harris administration. Are you aware that this is the Biden-Harris administration and she is indeed the Vice President?”

DOOCY: “When did you guys learn that Vice President Harris wants to distance herself from Bidenomics?”

KJP: “Why do you think that?”
Doocy: “Axios is now reporting that she is ‘hoping to distance herself from President Biden’s unpopularity on the economy.’ Can you blame her?”
KJP: “Do you know this is the Biden-Harris administration. Are you aware that this is the Biden-Harris administration and she is indeed the Vice President?”
Doocy: “[B]ut if the President’s policies on the economy were working or if they were popular —”
KJP: “I mean —”
Doocy: “— wouldn’t he still be the candidate?”

KJP: “— you just — you literally just had the — the chair of the CEA here who laid out a pretty, pretty robust — uh — point by point about the economy and what has happened under the Biden Harris administration, and I thought it was pretty convincing … the contrast could not be more stark between, if anything, the contrast is between what Republicans want to do, MAGAnomics. You’re talking about Bidenomics. MAGAnomics — supercharged inflation. That’s what they want to do, raise taxes on the middle class by thousands of dollars, send tax cuts through the roof, protect corporate price gouging, cut Social Security, cost millions their healthcare and heed — tax giveaways on billionaires and big corporations. That’s the division there. That’s where there’s really a night and day, night and day.”

Doocy: “But would you admit at least that, if Bidenomics was more popular, President Biden would still be the candidate?”

KJP: “I’m not going to get into polling. What I will tell you is Bidenomics has been something that both the President and the Vice President has [sic] worked on. You guys — you guys have called it Bidenomics. We talk about how the President is trying to put forward an economic policy, building the economy from the bottom up, middle out that does not leave behind the middle class and make sure it has equity at the center of it. MAGAnomics, which is very different, which is something that neither of them believe in, wants to do the opposite of what we’re trying to do on behalf of the American people. That’s the difference.”

Doocy: “Something that we’ve noticed over the last few days.”
KJP: “Oh, you’re noticing a lot over the last few days!”
Doocy: “The Vice President’s team is not holding any press briefings. You are left to answer everything for her, even though you are not the vice president’s press secretary.”

KJP: “Ah, I don’t think so.”
Doocy: “Is that getting old?”

KJP: “No. Let me tell you something. I’m the White House press secretary, as you all know, obviously for the President, for this administration, for the Biden-Harris administration. It is an honor and a privilege — you hear me say this all the time — honor and privilege to stand before you to be able to do that job, and I will do it as long as — as long as I can — right — to the end of this term — um — and I — you know, as it relates to the Vice President, she certainly has been on the road. She has taken questions from some of you in doing her gaggles. You’ve seen her. Uh — that is something — as anything specific about interview, you certainly would have to reach out to her campaign, but I am proud to be standing here at this podium behind this lecture on behalf of the Biden-Harris administration.”

CBS’s Weijia Jiang; “Just now, the President in contrasting content creators with the press, he said the biggest thing you’ve got going for you and I hope you keep it, is your trusted, you’re trusted, and it makes a difference. Does the President believe everything influencers and content creators post is accurate and non-partisan?”

KJP: “I mean, look, I — I don’t have the full contexts. I didn’t see the back and forth of what exactly the President was saying there. Um — I think what he is saying they are influencers, right? Um — and — and, and I would say even as you all — right — you all are important critic — critically important providing information to the American people and we certainly respect the platforms that creators have and the platforms you all have — uh — and it plays an important role in informing the American people and that’s what — that’s as far as I can go — is the platform that you have and how important it is — the platform that they have specifically, as you’re asking me about creators and making sure that — that information gets to the American people. I can’t speak to specifically of what the President meant. I have to talk to him and get more info of what he was thinking about and at that moment, and I have just I haven’t had a chance to do that.”
