She\u2062 highlighted that the administration has managed inflation alongside other crises like COVID-19 and has enacted legislation to help the economy recover. Jean-Pierre noted \u2063that though \u200bcertain \u200dgrocery prices had spiked,\u200d they have since decreased. She also mentioned \u200dthat \u2064despite a\u200c recent minor increase in gas prices, measures such as tapping\u2063 into the Strategic\u200d Petroleum Reserve have generally helped to lower fuel costs. This comes \u2062amidst \u2064Republican\u2062 criticism that \u200dBiden has politically manipulated these\u200c reserves to \u200cinfluence gas\u2063 prices ahead of \u2064the 2024 election. Additionally, Jean-Pierre criticized former President Donald Trump,\u200c blaming his administration for ongoing chaos following the overturning of Roe v. Wade and claiming that issues like in vitro\u200c fertilization\u200b (IVF) are endangered in the upcoming election. She expressed concern that future generations might \u2062inherit fewer rights.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/white-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>White House<\/a> press secretary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/karine-jean-pierre\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Karine Jean-Pierre<\/a> insisted that President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Joe Biden<\/a> would not be bogged down by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/inflation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>inflation<\/a> during Thursday\u2019s presidential debate, arguing the president will showcase a contrast between him and his Republican rival, former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Donald Trump<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Inflation is likely to be one of several key topics motivating voters ahead of the election, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3055879\/trump-hits-bidenomics-inflation-with-mini-tic-tac-prop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Trump hinting on Saturday\">Trump hinting on Saturday<\/a> he would use this topic as a tactic against Biden during the debate. When asked how Biden would respond to criticism on his handling of inflation, Jean-Pierre contended that the Biden administration was handling inflation as it was dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic and that the president signed several pieces of legislation to help the country \u201cget back on its feet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, yes, eggs and milk and there are grocery things that were up, it has gone down,\u201d Jean-Pierre said. \u201cIt has gone down since 2022.

The president took action, tapped the SPR, and we saw gas prices go down. The president has met the moment with every issue that we have had in front of us.

Additionally, there will only be two breaks throughout the 90-minute debate, and neither he nor Biden can converge with their campaign teams during these breaks.
