#shorts On 1/6/2023, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “I guess we have a pretty good sense of what it looks like, typically, when the President sees something as being a top, urgent legislative priority. So, you know, will we be getting readouts of him making phone calls to lawmakers? Will we see members coming here? Will he sort of throw everything he has at this problem that he says he wants to get fixed?”

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: So, look, there’s been many initiatives that we have gotten done, especially historic pieces of legislation that the President has done in the past two years, that we haven’t laid out everything, right? If we think about the Inflation Reduction Act, we didn’t lay out every step of who he was talking to. Matter of fact, most of you all were surprised when that was announced — the Inflation Reduction Act was announced.

So, look, the President is going to continue to have conversations with member of Congress. His team will do that on a array of issues that matter to this White House. And it matters to this White House because it matters to the American people.
