Jean-Pierre also downplayed calls from Republicans, including House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA ), for Biden to resign as “ridiculous”.
Biden “did n’t step down from campaigning or from running because he did n’t believe he could serve”, she said, repeating that it had “nothing to do with his health”.
In response to mounting pressure from people of his own party who are concerned about his age, intellectual clarity, and political aspirations, Jean-Pierre recounted the day before he made his decision to move away as the 2024 Democratic presidential candidate, 100 days before the election. In those important time, “he met with a smaller group of advisers on Saturday night and with his home” before coming to his summary on Sunday evening, speaking with aides, and then circulating the text, per Jean-Pierre.
The media director underscored that Biden had” no regrets” about how he handled the post-debate crisis and denied that he was “bullied” into making his statement.
