White House Press Secretary to Appear on "The View" Amidst Biden's Withdrawal from 2024 Race

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is set to make her first public appearance since President Biden's announcement of his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race. Scheduled for an interview on "The View" on Tuesday, Jean-Pierre has not held a press conference since July 15, raising questions about the administration's communication strategy during this pivotal moment. President Biden's decision to exit the race was made public through a letter posted on social media, where he also endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor. This announcement comes after a series of challenging moments for the administration, including Jean-Pierre's previous press briefings where she faced scrutiny over Biden's health and performance during debates, particularly against former President Trump. In her last press conference, Jean-Pierre defended the president amid inquiries about his health, emphasizing that Biden intended to remain in the race despite what she described as a "bad night" during the debate. Tensions escalated in early July when reporters questioned her about Biden's medical consultations, leading to a pointed exchange with CBS reporter Ed O’Keefe regarding transparency with the press. Reflecting on her time working with Biden, Jean-Pierre expressed pride in the administration's accomplishments, stating, "President Biden will go down in history as one of our greatest Presidents." She affirmed her commitment to continue delivering results for the American people through the remainder of his term.
