#shorts Karine Jean-Pierre can’t name a single swing-state Democrat who has asked Joe Biden to come campaign with them. On 10/17/2022, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “He’s giving a speech tomorrow in D.C. He’s given fundraisers in New Jersey and New York. He campaigned with Democratic governor candidates in Massachusetts and Maryland. And then he was in California, Oregon, and Colorado next week. Yes, he has plans to be in Pennsylvania and Florida, but behind closed doors, with two of the Democratic candidates. There’s a White House Office of Political Affairs. Have they been getting phone calls from candidates in some of those other states — Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan — to say, “We’d love to have the President come”?”
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Look, I don’t have any calls to read out. We don’t have any calls or personal conversations to read out. Look, the way we see it — and the … Look, he’s going to go where he is needed the most. And at this time, we’re not — we don’t have just any additional — we just don’t have any additional travel to lay out for you.
