White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden
did not contradict himself during Tuesday's press briefing when a reporter
asked about comments President Joe Biden made about Ukraine.
NBC News White House correspondent Peter Alexander asked if
Biden was seeking an alternative path to providing aid to Ukraine after Biden
had previously expressed confidence that Congress would pass legislation. No aid
for Ukraine was included in the continuing resolution signed by Biden on
Saturday.
“I guess I'm confused,” Alexander said, “because you said
here that the president was confident that the aid would continue, but today
the president himself admitted that he was worried about that. Of those two,
can those two line up?
“I am happy to repeat the same thing,” Jean-Pierre
responded. “What we have heard from members of the House, both Republicans and
Democrats, we have heard from senators, both Republicans and Democrats have
said... that they want to continue supporting Ukraine, so that Ukraine can
continue to fight against Russian aggression . “We’ve heard that… overwhelming
majority, so that still stands.”Politicsbreaf
