On 12/18/2022, White House adviser is GRILLED on why Biden hasn’t visited the border: Top Biden Advisor Keisha Lance Bottoms can’t explain why Biden refuses to visit southern border. Keisha Lance Bottoms suggest presidential visit would be “disruptive” but vows he’s been “working for months” to plan for Title 42’s end. Keisha Lance Bottoms, the former Atlanta mayor who’s now head of the White House Office of Public Engagement, said she ‘can’t speak to why he has or has not gone’ but insisted the Biden administration had been ‘working for months’ to prepare for Title 42 to end. “Simply because people don’t see the president at the border, doesn’t mean that he’s not working,” Bottoms told CBS News’ Face The Nation. She added that a presidential visit is, by its nature, ‘disruptive’ to the operations around it.

CBS host Margaret Brennan asked Bottoms why Biden did not make the trek during a recent visit to the border state of Arizona. “When the president travels, it is not like you or I jumping on an airplane and getting off and going to our destination. Everything comes to a halt,” Bottoms argued.
