White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre faced tough questions from CBS News White House correspondent Weijia Jiang during Wednesday's press briefing, as Jiang pressed Jean-Pierre on why President Biden has not been more visible and accessible to the press.
Jiang asked Jean-Pierre why Biden has not been seen more often in an "unscripted" setting, and why he has not been taking more questions from reporters. Jean-Pierre responded by pointing to Biden's upcoming appearances, including a Fourth of July event at the White House and a trip to Wisconsin. She also noted that Biden has done more than 40 interviews this year alone, and will be doing an interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos.
However, Jiang continued to press Jean-Pierre on the issue, asking why Biden has not come to the briefing room to answer questions directly from reporters. Jean-Pierre did not provide a direct answer to this question, but said that Biden will be taking questions from a reporter on Friday and will have a press conference next week.
The exchange comes as Biden's mental acuity has become a topic of discussion in the media, with some questioning whether he is fit to serve as president. Jean-Pierre was also asked about this issue during the briefing, and said that Biden is "clear-eyed" and "staying in the race."
It is worth noting that the White House press corps has been criticized for not covering Biden's mental acuity more aggressively before the recent debate. Some have suggested that the media may have been hesitant to cover the issue due to concerns about appearing partisan or biased. However, it is clear that the issue is now front and center, and the White House will likely face continued questions about Biden's fitness for office.
