During Tuesday's White House press briefing, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre addressed the question of whether President Joe Biden had watched last month's presidential debate. The president himself had previously stated, 'I don't think I did, no.'
Jean-Pierre admitted that she had not followed up with the president on that particular question. She mentioned, 'That's a good question, I should, I never followed up with him and I meant to. I have not asked him that question. I was there in the room when he was being asked that question. I just never followed up.'
She acknowledged the importance of the inquiry and expressed her intention to seek clarification from President Biden. Jean-Pierre stated, 'You know, that is something that, you know, we could follow up with him on, I have not. I'm sure he's seen clips. I'm sure he's seen clips. I just haven't had asked him that for question.'
While the press secretary did not provide a definitive answer regarding whether the president had watched the debate, she indicated that she would address the matter with President Biden directly. The exchange highlights the ongoing interest in the president's engagement with significant events such as presidential debates.
