White House Press Briefing

Buckle up, White House press corps. On Friday night, President-Elect Donald Trump named longtime aide and Trump 2024 campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt as the incoming White House press secretary and set to do battle with the liberal journalists in the Brady Briefing Room come January 20, 2025.

In the second White House press briefing since the presidential election and a day before the surreal Oval Office sit-down between President Biden and President-Elect Trump, Fox’s Peter Doocy drew Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s ire when he wonddered “how awkward was” Tuesday’s lunch between Biden and Vice President Harris at the White House.

With no White House press briefing since October 30, Thursday’s briefing was the first since Tuesday’s general election and, with the massive red wave yielding a Trump presidency and possibly a Republican Congress, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre faced a room of reporters (ostensibly most being supporters) full of questions about the administration’s reaction to this thorough rebuke.

Axios’s Alex Thompson – one of the few establishment media journalists who’s been doing real journalism on the Biden-Harris administration – uncorked a doozy late Monday revealing further tension in the regime’s ranks as sources told him “Biden press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has been blocking national security spokesperson John Kirby from joining her at the podium at White House press…

Thursday’s White House press briefing appropriately had a central focus of late Wednesday’s landfall of Hurricane Milton on Florida’s Gulf Coast and tornadoes across the state, but the partisan shills chose to ask a slew of questions emphasizing about this vague “misinformation” campaign they claim has had catastrophic consequences in the south as somehow on part with apocalyptic physical…

With much of the national media ghoulishly obsessing over fringe conspiracy theories about Hurricane Milton and Russia-related claims from Bob Woodward’s new book, Real Clear Politics’s Philip Wegmann actually did his job Wednesday in pressing White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on claims in the Woodward book about Ukraine and President Biden reportedly regretful he made Merrick…

On Monday with millions of Americans still recovering from catastrophic devastation caused by Hurricane Helene and more preparing this week for Hurricane Milton, numerous White House correspondents chose to engage in childish bashing with Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) with false claims about him ignoring calls from Vice President Kamala Harris. In…

On Friday, President Biden made his first appearance in the White House Briefing Room with only three and a half months left in office after years of calls from reporters across the political spectrum. Sure, he only took questions for just over eight minutes, but the press corps made sure to throw this unique opportunity away with a combination of open-ended foreign policy queries and…

Monday’s White House press briefing was otherwise uneventful with plenty of process questions about the fallout from Hurricane Helene and concerns about Middle East tensions (which would grow Tuesday with Iran’s missile attacks), but Doocy Time brought the heat with challenging questions on dangerous illegal immigrants and how President Biden and Vice President Harris spent their weekend as…

Thursday’s White House press briefing lacked some quality Doocy Time for the second day in a row, but there was still plenty of tense back-and-forths featuring Newsmax’s James Rosen, CBS’s Ed O’Keefe, and surprisingly the AP’s Zeke Miller over the Biden-Harris administration’s decision to hold this week’s Quad Summit — featuring leaders from Australia, India, and Japan — in Wilmington,…

On Thursday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was lucky to have softballs from liberal journalists discounting the mass, unfettered immigration puts on small towns, schools, and social services like in Springfield, Ohio as, leaving those aside, she was hit with searing questions on the economy and government spending by Fox’s Jacqui Heinrich and Edward Lawrence.

Monday’s White House press briefing led off with national security spokesman and frequent Karine Jean-Pierre crutch John Kirby defending the Biden-Harris administration’s deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan in light of a House Foreign Affairs Committee report, arguing they’ve done plenty of soul-searching, but feel proud of what happened and want to move on. Thankfully, a few reporters had some…

Tuesday marked the first White House press briefing in 21 days and, along with the fact that Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre still found a way to show up nearly an hour late (by starting a 2:30 p.m. briefing at 3:12 p.m.), Fox’s Peter Doocy returned with a stunning doozy by asking about President Biden attacking Israel and Vice President Kamala Harris code-switching between audiences. Along…

The liberal media can spin Wednesday’s inflation report however they want (and they have in some wild cases), but nothing changes the underlining facts how Americans continue to struggle. Even though one AP reporter eagerly wondered if “the inflation problem is solved”, Fox’s duo of Peter Doocy and Edward Lawrence showed up at that day’s White House press briefing to give both Karine Jean-…
