resident Biden has "done the work" to halt inflation, despite the stat continuing to sit at a 40-year high for months, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre argues.
Jean-Pierre made the comments during a Monday press briefing at the White House, defending the resident's economic record amid scrutiny from Fox News reporter Steve Doocy. The exchange came on the heels of several polls finding that Americans lack confidence in Biden and the Democrats to bring down inflation.
"If resident Biden's top domestic priority is inflation, why doesn't he have more to show for it?" Doocy asked.
"The resident understands … that, um, inflation is an issue, high costs is an issue for the American people, and so he's been very clear about making that his number one economic priority," Jean-Pierre responded. "And he has done the work."
Jean-Pierre went on to cite his signing of the Inflation Reduction Act and blame Republicans for a lack of further action.
"Republicans are actually going to make things worse," Jean-Pierre continued. "Democrats want to do the opposite and make things a little bit easier."
Doocy then pressed her: "But, who exactly thinks the resident is doing a good job on inflation?" he asked, citing a poll that found Americans are the least confident on Biden's ability to tackle the issue.
"We understand that there are challenges … That is why we are taking action to lower costs," Jean-Pierre responded. "Republicans in Congress refuse to be partners with us on this."

Yeah, those eggs for 30 cents each is a REAL drop in price...
The reasonBasement Joe is always sniffing is that he tried to pick one up by the clean end once...
I don’t think they’re even trying to polish the turd.
They’re just pointing at it and saying “this turd is highly polished.”
The gaslighting isn’t professional grade anymore it’s third rate at best.
Now THAT looks like a polished turd! With a little cotton candy stuck to it.
One year ago milk was 2$ a gallon . Now it is 3.50$. That is a lot more than 8%.
It’s the old ‘pee on your leg blame the weather gambit’
The White House has been hittin’ da happy smoke again.
Isn't that unbelievable? Biden is Making America Venezuela Again. Over $3 for a carton of a dozen eggs! I can hardly believe it, but it's true.
Eggs were always a "go to" food for good, inexpensive protein when times were tough. Not anymore. Thanks for nothing, Democrats.
Hey Jean Pierre, this is not Haiti. There is only so much garbage the public will take. Even the former Press Secretary before Jaen Pierre is out trashing Dementia Joe now.
And he finally gave all of the freeloading, college Snowflake DEADBEATS their free gift for voting for him. Biden is the champion of all freeloader deadbeats tonight.
“...high costs is an issue” - KJP is stupider than I realized.
Unfortunately, the rats 🐀 tend to specialize in that.
Yep. Whoever is writing the admin’s script is really bad at it. It’s so juvenile. Every assertion that economic conditions are not as bad as they seem and will improve, just trust us, is laughable. Not to mention the people they put out there to defend the admin are really bad at it. J K-P is a joke.

I’ve had this thought over the past day or two listening to this BS. If the RATS can’t fraud their way into staying in control of Congress, they can do the next best thing: dig the hole too deep for the Republicans to dig out of especially with the White House able to veto most of the things they’ll try to do and the voters will switch the blame in 2024.
