On 8/1/2022, during press conference, reporters asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre about Joe Biden’s second positive test. A letter released from Dr. O’Connor on Monday did not mention that Joe Biden is experiencing “lingering symptoms.” According to the White House physician, Joe Biden isn’t feeling any new symptoms and “continues to feel quite well.” “He’s feeling fine,” Jean-Pierre said.
Jean-Pierre said Biden still has mild “lingering” symptoms, but has not experienced any new symptoms, all Of us have had it before Karine Jean-Pierre said.
Biden hasn’t been seen in public, so why is Karine Jean-Pierre making jokes about it. She can’t say what’s on Biden’s schedule, despite not appearing in public since Thursday.
Reporter: There was video of him yesterday FaceTiming with the folks — the veterans camping out on Capitol Hill. We haven’t seen anything from him today. Can you give us a sense of how he’s doing with having to go back into isolation? I mean, is he, you know, frustrated? And how is he dealing with being away from the First Lady for as long as he’s been?
JEAN-PIERRE: Well, the day is still young. You never know. But, look, the President —
Reporter: Does that mean she’s coming home?
JEAN-PIERRE: I’m just making a joke. Clearly it was not funny.
Reporter: Funny joke. (Laughter.)
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: I will try harder next time to be more funny. But, look, he is continuing to work from the Residence. And I just want to share: As we all know, the President is fully … he had very mild symptoms … there would be — a small percentage of folks do have a relapse. This is what we saw. But he’s doing well. You saw him — as you said, Darlene — and he said he’s fine. He sounded great. And he’s looking — as we know, he’s someone who likes to be out there with the American people. He’s looking forward to being out there again. And yeah, but he’s going to continue. It doesn’t stop him from doing his job and doing the work of the American people. So he is in the White House Residence, and he’s going to continue to do that as he isolates for a couple more days.
Reporter: A couple of clarifications points on that. Dr. O’Connor said today that the President is feeling fine, but you didn’t mention symptoms. Can you clarify on whether he’s even experiencing any minor symptoms, congestion? Where are we on that?
JEAN-PIERRE: So, he is not experiencing — we haven’t seen any reoccurring symptoms. That was in Dr. O’Connor’s letter on Saturday, so that continues to be true. I spoke to Dr. O’Connor not too long before coming out to talk to all of you … — those symptoms that you have don’t go away right away. They kind of linger. Those minimal symptoms kind of linger for some time. So you could expect that, and so — with that. But there’s no — no reoccurring symptoms. He’s — he’s actually — he’s feeling fine.
Reporter: what meetings he had. We’ve received nothing today. Can you give us some sort of — is he on the phone with lawmakers, his economic team, his COVID team? What is the President doing?
JEAN-PIERRE: Yeah. Again, the day is young. (Laughs.) But — so, we — I know on Friday we provided his meetings, he — which included dealing with the awful flooding in Kentucky and helping provide federal resources, working with Governor Beshear and Senator McConnell, speaking with members of Congress and meeting with his senior staff.
He will be doing a lot of that work virtually, as we have done in the past. And so, I mean, the work doesn’t stop. He’ll just continue to do that.
Reporter: But no details on what he’s done today so far?
JEAN-PIERRE: Well, he’ll be meeting with senior staff for sure. That is something that’s pretty regular on his schedule. So I can, for sure, share that with you. If there’s anything else to read out, we will be — we will share — we’ll share that with you.
