Q: Biden not answer press? A: McCarthy is welcome to take your questions but not Biden

#shorts On 2/1/2023, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “If I just could, just because I know it’s important to everyone here and important to the public as well: Can you explain the decision not to offer the public visibility on this meeting? It’s — it’s tradition for the press to be brought in when the President speaks to the Speaker of the House.

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Not — look, not all the time. The President has had many conversations — one-on-one conversations — with members of Congress.

I totally understand — I get the question and understand why there is interest in this. But we have done it many times before where we’ve had private one-on-one meetings … And I’ll just add to this: You know, Speaker — Speaker McCarthy is welcome to go to the sticks after the meeting and take your questions. We — we welcome that if that is something that he wishes to do.
