On 9/24/2022, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said it is the Republicans who don’t want to lower costs, “At this point we are going to make sure that we are doing everything that we can to lower costs and, you know, Republicans are doing the complete opposite. They’re not wanting to lower costs,” Karine Jean-Pierre said.
Republicans have not been in charge for nearly two years but high gas prices and runaway inflation is due to the Republicans, according to Karine Jean-Pierre. Karine Jean-Pierre argued that Joe Biden’s ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ will bring down costs.
Jean-Pierre would not say if President Joe Biden is concerned no Democrats want him to run for re-election, “I’m very limited on how I can discuss any kind of elections. I will reiterate what we have said many times from here: What the president has said many times, even as recently as the 60 Minutes interview, is that he intends to run,” Jean-Pierre said when pressed on the poll during Monday’s press briefing. “The president will say, as I’m saying right now, is his focus is not on himself.
Jean-Pierre said she can’t talk about if President Joe Biden plans to do things “differently” on the economy. Jean-Pierre received follow-up questions about the poll, specifically noting that Biden “is deeply underwater when it comes to the economy,” and if the White House plans to “do anything differently” in terms of its campaign strategy both this year and ahead of 2024. “I can’t talk about the midterms,” Jean-Pierre responded in one exchange. “What I can say is, and we talked about this, in our August memo — we are going to go out there, not just the president, the vice president, the Cabinet secretaries, you have congressional members in their district as well, and we’re going to talk about how we have delivered … “
Jean-Pierre dismissed former President Joe Biden spokeswoman Jen Psaki’s comments that the “huge vulnerability” for Democrats. Fox News reporter Peter Doocy pressed Jean-Pierre on comments from former White House press secretary Jen Psaki who stated the major vulnerability for Democrats heading into the November elections. After Doocy confronted her with Psaki’s comments, Jean-Pierre argued that Doocy was taking her former boss’s statement out of context, before punting back to claims that Republicans weren’t cooperating on legislation.
On 9/22/2022, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm called the ‘green’ energy transition a “transformational opportunity,” during her remarks at the United States Energy Association’s Annual Advanced Energy Forum.
