When it comes to — what we’re doing is just the beginning, right? This is like — this is — this is part of trying to make sure that we do build a middle class; that we build an economy from the bottom up, middle out. That is incredibly important to this President. That’s why he has said that the last two years.

The White House also slammed House Republicans for putting some of the party’s “most extreme members” onto plum committee assignments. Wednesday was not the first time Jean-Pierre has marked a historic milestone during her career. Prior to the Biden White House, Jean-Pierre served as chief of staff to Vice President Kamala Harris during the 2020 campaign.

As the clock ticks down to the nation’s debt ceiling deadline, the White House on Wednesday urged Republicans in Congress to work with President Joe Biden to avoid a potentially dangerous default. “They were like, ‘This is palace intrigue bulls— that was dramatically sensationalized,’” that source said. The Post spoke with almost a dozen prominent Democratic staffers for this article, including current and former White House officials, all of whom requested anonymity to discuss internal personnel matters.

But, obviously, we need doctors to prescribe them. And we are reaching out to governors where nursing home vaccination rates are low to offer personalized support. So we are working very closely with leadership of nursing homes across America, and we have asked them to step up to do more.

Prior to that, she served as a senior advisor on the Biden-Harris campaign, advising on all aspects of the campaign. At SKDK, Anita has worked with progressive and issue advocacy campaigns, given strategic advice to elected officials, political candidates, CEOs, nonprofits and corporations. “Karine not only brings the experience, talent and integrity needed for this difficult job, but she will continue to lead the way in communicating about the work of the Biden-Harris Administration on behalf of the American people.

They are — the number of beds is reaching 850 so far, including six member of one family of the former ambassador to Washington. And that is the message that — that he is sending, along with a deep sense of understanding of the grief and hurt and pain and anguish they’re feeling right now as they wait to hear news of their loved ones. And I’m not here to — to draw red lines or issue warnings or give lectures to anybody. I’m here to say that the President has given us direction to take a series of actions. And we will continue to do so in the weeks ahead.

With every question, she behaves like a high school student giving an oral book report on a novel they didn’t even take home, much less actually read. This reflexive tendency by the opposition to deny a president a chance to fill judicial vacancies has become a new norm. And it is unlikely to end, absent intentional reforms. Easiest would be adjusting confirmation proceedings, such as Senate Judiciary Committee hearings.

Top Dems disagree on whether to save Johnson's Speakership

Later this week, he’s going to focus on lowering healthcare costs, which is something that this administration has worked on the past two years. You just asked me about his conversation with the governor of Florida and what they’re dealing with — a very devastating shooting that we saw in — in the city of Jacksonville and this hurricane that’s — that’s about to hit — potentially hit Florida. Those are the things that the President is going to focus on. But if you do see these things philosophically differently, it’s important to know, however, that our children, if we’re going to compete on a global stage, must at least know their own history.

The President will continue to be relentless in ensuring that Israel and the Israeli people have what they need in support from the United States to defend themselves in the days, weeks, months, and years ahead — as you all know, you just heard directly from the President. A source supporting the press secretary reportedly said Dunn backed Jean-Pierre replacing her predecessor Jen Psaki, who stepped down from her position in May 2022, according to the Post. Jean-Pierre denied an offer to become president of EMILY’s List, a group raising money for Democratic female candidates supporting abortion, the Post reported. The press secretary told NBC News that she is “committed to the president” and is “not going anywhere” shortly after rejecting the offer. This is no surprise given the nature of her new role, but the 44-year-old has a history of working with high-profile Democratic leaders. Jean-Pierre served as regional political director for the White House Office of Political Affairs during the Obama-Biden administration and as deputy battleground states director for President Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign.

And we just have to continue to beat the drum, and we’ll continue to do that. Look, we’re in a different phase, as we — you’ve heard us say, in this pandemic. And — and we are going to encourage people to get that new vaccine. We have the tools that we know work when it comes to COVID, when it comes to this pandemic. And — and we’re going to continue to let folks know to utilize those tools.

And you see that through the Secretary of Education. And, of course, this is something that’s incredibly important to the First Lady as well. So, I do know this is something that the President and Vice President feel very strongly about and will continue to make sure that we make full access to American history available to all of our children. As of right now, I don’t think there are any travel plans.

Over the past six months, Ukraine has had to ration ammunition, and that has resulted in the loss of some territory in the east, including the city of Avdiivka. The bill makes important investments in our defense industrial base that will strengthen our own military. And, of course, it provides timely support to our allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific as well. The bill will also enhance and expand humanitarian aid for those who have been impacted by instability, by conflict, by disaster all over the world, including in Haiti, in Sudan, and Somalia. The bill will also help replenish Israel’s air defenses, which is even more important following Iran’s brazen and unprecedented attack 10 days ago. And it will help ensure that Israel has what it needs to defend itself against the very real threats it faces from Iran as well as Iran’s proxy groups.

So, look — and let’s not forget here what many Americans have been going through — right? — the attacks that they have seen, the threats that they have seen. So, there is an important — important message that the President wants to send to the American people about that as well. He took executive action when Congress could not move on the George Floyd Justice in Pol- — in Policing Act. He took actions from — where he could from here, from the federal government.

"I’m just so grateful to have had Karine by my side for this over the last 15 months, and I just can’t wait to see her shine at the podium," Psaki said, as she held Jean-Pierre's hand. "Congratulations, and I can’t wait to see you bring your own style and brilliance to this job. I love you." In formally announcing Jean-Pierre's new role, Psaki, fighting back tears from the briefing room podium, said having a Black woman who was also LQBTQ+ in the high-profile position "will give a voice to so many." Biden also announced that Anita Dunn would return to the administration as a senior adviser and assistant to the president. And as President, you know, as Commander-in-Chief, where he sits right now, behind that Resolute Desk, and what he understands, it’s important to speak out.

She was also previously a political analyst for NBC News and MSNBC and a lecturer in international and public affairs at Columbia University. Again, I mentioned 23,000 agents that are at the border who are working night and day to protect and secure the border. And that’s because of the work that this President has done. And we’re working on anti-smuggling efforts as well. But, look, just more broadly, there are a range of tech appli- — applications and products that are not allowed to be used on the White Ho- — on the White House and other federal government work equipment for security reasons, including TikTok.

We are not — we are not asking for political stunts. We’re — we continue to see political stunts from many Republicans out there. And that’s not how we’re going to fix this issue. We’ll have more to share on next week’s guidance in the coming days. But we can also confirm today that next weekend the President and First Lady will celebrate Christmas at the White House. And, of course, you’ve heard the President announce this week’s plan — this — this week, plans — this week — (laughs) — wow — this week to plan to travel to Africa and to continue the work over the course of the summit and to strengthen our partnership across the continent.
