White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed that President Joe Biden is “as sharp as ever” despite his disastrous debate performance.
“What I can say is this is a president who is strong and resolute in delivering for the American people,” she said during a press conference.
“That’s what I see. I see a president, when I’m in, sitting in front of him, you know, going through the day or talking about what he’s doing next, he is someone that engages with us. He wants to know, he pushes us, he — you know, probes us, wanting to figure out, like, the bigger picture of whatever we’re trying to explain to him or even granular details.”
“He is as sharp as ever, as I have known him to be,” she continued. “In my engagement and my experience with him, I know, when I walk into the Oval Office or, or see him on Air Force One, I have to be on top of my game. I do. That’s just kind of my engagement with him and how it’s been for the past couple of years.”
