During Monday’s briefing, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked about President Biden’s abysmal approval rating on a wide range of issues, and she had this to say:
REPORTER: "Does President Biden feel any concern that his approval rating is really pretty amazingly low, and consistently low?"

“The president remains focused on delivering for the American people.”
Delivering WHAT exactly?
Perhaps because she was sensing a bit of dissension in the ranks thanks to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and others, Jean-Pierre took to Twitter to issue an interesting statement:
To be clear, as the President has said repeatedly, he plans to run in 2024.

That says a lot, and not in a way the White House hopes:
Reminiscent of when a Hollywood couple puts out a press release to say their marriage is doing fine. https://t.co/yFboDcwh9N

To be clear, when you are a press secretary and tweet something like this unprompted (not responding to a question on here), it has the opposite effect you probably intended. https://t.co/Jar2oAPrkP

Then again, Biden’s “plans” don’t always pan out as intended.
He also planned an orderly and successful withdrawal from Afghanistan, so https://t.co/KEKItNa1QC

What’s scary is that the Biden White House still wants everybody to believe that was a success.
The fact this needs to be reiterated is laughable at best. https://t.co/XUTZ6HbcbM

But, she made it clear..

Every time this White House makes something more “clear” the waters get a little more muddied.
Does he know this? https://t.co/5iIgpCO961
