White House says Biden prioritizes concerns of everyday Americans amidst impeachment discussions.
President Biden’s Priorities: Focusing on Real American Concerns
President Joe Biden has a lot of jobs, but worrying about impeachment isn’t one of them.
That’s the message the White House conveyed Monday when it was asked by a reporter about impeachment talk coming from the Republican-led House of Representatives.
Addressing Real American Concerns
“The House speaker said yesterday that moving toward impeachment now is ‘a natural step forward and would be an opportunity for Congress to get all the information they need,'” a reporter said. “What is the White House’s response?”
Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden’s priorities lie elsewhere.
“The president is focused on what real Americans care about,” she said.
Those issues, Jean-Pierre added, include:
- Access to high-quality education
- Commemorating the 60th anniversary of the March on Washington
- Lowering healthcare costs
- Responding to disasters like the wildfires in Hawaii and pending hurricane damage in Florida
However, she also said Biden hopes to work with McCarthy on bipartisan issues when possible.
The reporter pressed on.
“Some frustration appears to be the inability to get information out of the State Department, the Homeland Security Department, and other aspects of the government,” he continued. “Is there any validity to those criticisms in the view of the White House? Or should the White House be urging departments to cooperate with ongoing investigations?”
Jean-Pierre responded by saying that the Biden administration is, in fact, encouraging agencies to work with Congress.
“That’s something we always urge,” she said. “I can’t speak to what they’re complaining about. What I can speak to is what the president is focused on. We want to work in a bipartisan way with congressional Republicans.”
The impeachment talk, Jean-Pierre said, amounts to nothing more than a series of “political stunts.”
