CBS’s Willie Inman asked Karine Jean-Pierre why Biden has not addressed the fight over the continued resolution.
“I’m gonna try to ask us a different way,” Inman asked.
KJP: “Yeah.”
Inman: “The President is still in office —”
“The American people really haven’t heard from him on whether or not the government is going to shut down. Wouldn’t the message hit differently if the president were out there, countering the message that we’re hearing from the President-Elect and Elon Musk. Why isn’t he speaking on this?” he asked.
Karine Jean-Pierre blamed Republicans.

NBC’s Gabe Gutierrez asked Karine Jean-Pierre why Joe Biden is staying in the background.
“I’ll go at the question in another way. In this moment, is the President leading?” NBC’s Gabe Gutierrez asked KJP.
Instead of admitting Biden’s brain in is mush, Karine Jean-Pierre blamed Speaker Johnson.
“The President is the President of the United States, and he is leading and to be very clear, as it relates to this, I’ve said this many times before, moments ago, I’ll say it again, we have done this strategy before. This is not new where we have said Congress needs to deal with this. This is their number one job is to keep the government open, and there was an agreement on the on the table, not just an agreement, a bipartisan agreement. Speaker Johnson created this mess. He needs to fix it. Period,” Karine Jean-Pierre said.
