Biden officials will have a minimal presence at college graduations as campuses erupt in protests

white house press conference

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre will hold a news briefing on Monday as U.S. ally Israel appears to be increasingly concerned that the International Criminal Court may issue arrest warrants against the country’s leaders. One organizer complained that the White House Correspondents’ Association — which represents the hundreds of journalists who cover the president — largely has been silent since the first weeks of the war about the killings of Palestinian journalists. WHCA did not respond to request for comment. The president made a grim speech about what he believes is at stake this election, saying that another Trump administration would be even more harmful to America than his first term. “We have to take this serious — eight years ago we could have written it off as ‘Trump talk’ but not after January 6,” Biden told the audience, referring to the supporters of Trump who stormed the Capitol after Biden defeated Trump in the 2020 election.

Biden says he doesn't need to scale down legislative priorities but then says he can pass "chunks" of Build Back Better

I don’t mean this is a partisan thing. A lot of people are trying to do it because they know we got a problem. Again, my dad used to have an expression. He said, “I don’t expect the government to solve my problems, but I expect them to at least know what they are, understand them.”     And like a lot of you, we’ve been very fortunate as a family, but we’ve also been through a lot of fairly tough times. And it’s not — and I’ve had the great advantage of having a family to get through them.

Biden says he expects Iranian strike on Israel 'sooner than later'

In response, Biden's team has worked to make the president's events smaller and has withheld their exact locations longer than usual in hopes of cutting back on potential interruptions. While the dinner, a tradition dating back 100 years, played out inside the ballroom, hundreds of protesters mobilized outside the venue to call for a cease-fire and criticize Biden's response to the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. The president called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to release Gershkovich immediately, adding that the White House was also doing everything it could to bring home freelance journalist Austin Tice and businessman Paul Whelan.

National Security

He insisted the White House will renew its push for paid leave for all workers in all industries after Congress passes this draft deal. Macron focused his opening statement on the cooperation between the two allies in supporting Ukraine, addressing clean energy and he praised Biden for bringing the U.S. back into the international scene. And so, we want to make sure that there’s a relationship that they’re able to defend themselves and take on what is purely a — a — the ugliest aggression that’s occurred since World War Two on a massive scale, on the part of Putin, within Ukraine. So there’s a lot we’re going to have to discuss.

Biden imposes new sanctions on Iran after drone and missile attack on Israel

But still, overall, when looking at hospitalization rates, unvaccinated adults had nine times higher rate of hospitalizations than vaccinated adults. And so, we believe this law will get us there. We believe that we will be able to divest — that TikTok will be able to divest. We believe that there is interest in — in folks who want to buy TikTok, and we want to get there. Q    A really quick one on — on taxes. The President earlier today said the 2017 tax bill that was passed under President Trump — if he is reelected — if President Biden is reelected, it would be dead and gone forever.

Biden says it's Federal Reserve's job to keep price increases stable

What I can say is that the President will continue to be vigilant about our national security, and — and he will remain — we will remain to act swiftly to protect it. Again, this is not a decision that he made lightly. And so we have seen this happen — right? — just across the President’s administration. And we’ve brought home — the President has been able to secure about a dozen wrongfully detained or hostage individuals — Americans — bringing them home. We know — we saw the situation with Trevor Reed just this past April.

Remarks by President Biden in Press Conference

And we’ve been consistent here throughout this administration. The President has been consistent about it, obviously, since 2017, but even before that, when he saw what happened in Charlottesville. We have to call out hateful, violent rhetoric. There’s time — there’s time — there’s certainly time on the books to see how this plays out.

You’ve attracted nearly $700 billion in private-sector investment in advanced manufacturing, in semiconductors, clean energy, and so much more here in America, creating tens of thousands of good-paying jobs, Building Trades jobs. In fact, construction of new factories has more than doubled in our administration. Folks, one of the reasons I ran for President was to rebuild the backbone of the middle class, and we have. We’re following my blue-collar blueprint to rebuild America. You know, we know the best way to grow an economy is from the bottom up and the middle out, not the top down. My dad used to say not a whole hell of a lot trickled down on his kitchen table in that top-down policy.

So I see stiff competition with China. China has an overall goal, and I don’t criticize them for the goal, but they have an overall goal to become the leading country in the world, the wealthiest country in the world, and the most powerful country in the world. That’s not going to happen on my watch because the United States are going to continue to grow and expand. Macron said he is confident that the U.S.

There are — every case is different. Every case — there are different ways that I can talk about them, so I don’t want to get ahead of that. So I would refer you to the State Department. So, the State Department has also introduced a new risk indicator to their travel advisories to inform U.S. citizens about the risk of wrongful detention by a foreign government in six countries that have regularly engaged in this practice. And so, our efforts to bring Paul home will continue. And, you know, the U.S. government continues to encourage the Russian government through every — every contact with them, through every channels to secure his release.

Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., visited multiple Wisconsin college campuses this week as a member of the Biden campaign’s national advisory board. He said he found, as the Harvard poll showed, that inflation and health care were top concerns among students, but that the situation in Gaza was often a subject of respectful debate. The campaign next week will launch a major effort targeting young voters on abortion rights timed to the end of the school year, Levenson said.
