During the White House press briefing, Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked Karine Jean-Pierre if a recent sit-down lunch between Joe Biden and Kamala Harris was “awkward.”
“We know that today, a week after the election, President Biden and Vice President Harris had a private lunch. How awkward was that?” Doocy asked.
“I don’t even understand. Why would it be awkward?” Jean-Pierre asked. “Why would you characterize it as awkward? They have regular lunches, they meet and talk regularly. Why would you call it awkward?”
Doocy pointed out that Harris and the Democrats forced Biden out and then kept him largely uninvolved during the campaign process — one which resulted in a historic loss.
“So there’s no weirdness about the way that things have unfolded?” Doocy asked.
“Did you see them together yesterday as well when they honored our veterans and were together during the day making sure that we didn’t forget the brave men and women that fought for this country,” Jean-Pierre replied. “Did you them together yesterday? Did you see the show of force together? This is … I’m not even gonna take the premise of this question. What I will say is the president and the vice president had lunch today, they’ve had lunch many times, they have — they communicate with each other regularly and had an opportunity to discuss the last 70 days or so of this administration, how important it is to get things done for the American people, and that’s their focus. That is genuinely their focus.”
