Just yesterday, the UK announced a significant new package of military aid for Ukraine, alongside major investments that they are making in their defense industrial base, putting their defense budget on a path to reach 2.5 percent of their GDP by the end of the decade. And the United States welcomes these moves from a stalwart ally. And despite the challenges that I’ve just described, I think it is very important for us to underscore that as we look ahead to the rest of 2024, our view is that Ukraine retains key advantages in this fight. Uk- — Ukraine can and will prevail, and that will be thanks to the bravery of its people but also the support of its friends. Russia has tried to grind out very slow, costly progress on multiple fronts over the past few weeks. They are threatening the town of Chasiv Yar.

White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates denied that either Dunn or Zients are pushing to remove the press secretary. “There’s a huge diversity issue and they’re afraid of what folks are going to say,” a source told the Post. Sources said both Zients and Dunn were attempting “to fine Karine a graceful exit” to avoid the negative optics of forcibly removing the first black woman and lesbian to serve as the press secretary, according to the Post.

As the new White House Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre is now the go-to voice of the Biden administration. She officially took to the lectern this morning, after Jen Psaki’s last day was on Friday. Psaki, who is reportedly headed for a new opportunity at MSNBC, announced her departure earlier this month.

Unfortunately, as you all know, Floridians are no strangers to these types of storms. It’s important that people prepare today; get supplies — so they get food, water; and charge your electronic devices. People should visit Ready.gov for — for tips on how to prepare. Call it the "Milton" syndrome, named after the famous Office Space character who was fired but kept coming to work and getting a paycheck.

Press Briefing by Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre

And as a result, we’re going to be able to provide, from our own production, steady and significant supplies of artillery to Ukraine. And the quantities and the type of humanitarian assistance that we have seen increase over the last two weeks, we need to see continued increases and sustained increases as we go forward. But it was also a reminder, in getting to see her, that there are still Americans and others being held hostage by Hamas.

But we are consulting with the Israeli government about their actions in this regard. Q Well, as the President said today, the difference between countries like the United States and Israel is that we do not deliberately target civilians. We are strongest when we are committed to the rule of law. And we work to make sure that all military operations are conducted consistent with the rule of law and the law of war. That is something that President Biden and Prime Minister Netanyahu have discussed, not just in this context but in previous contexts as well. That is something the United States has always stood for and always will continue to stand for.

And what we will speak to is, more broadly, what we expect and what we want to see and how painful it is for many communities here. So, we’re going to continue to do that forcefully, condemn antisemitism from this administration. We’re going to contem- — continue to do that. We’re implementing, as you know, the — the first-ever National Strategic Effort to Counter Antisemitism because there should be no place in this country in — when it relates to that type of hate.

I can only speak to the importance of this — this law moving forward — this bill moving forward — obviously, the President signed it to- — signed today, so it’s now law — and the importance of making sure that we move forward with that divestment of TikTok. As it relates to the bill — the law now — there’s time. There are already American investors who are — who are willing and are interested in buying TikTok.

The event comes the day after President Biden used his clemency authority to pardon 11 people who were convicted of non-violent drug offenses and commute the sentences of five others. The White House says these individuals received disproportionately long sentences and would have been given shorter sentences under current laws and policies. As you know, very early in this administration, the President signed an executive order on how he can — what he can do from the federal level to make voting easier for the — for the American people.

Today, Secretary Becerra is sending out a letter to all governors, underscoring that our partnership with state and local leaders has been essential to fighting this virus. But the Secretary also made clear we need them to step up right now to get ahead of this increase in COVID that we are seeing across the country. Starting today, each U.S. household can order up to four at-home tests free from COVIDTests.gov, with tests starting to ship as early as next week, the week of December 19th.

There have been other uses of the "MAGA" label in the White House, including in an official release earlier this year. In that message, the Biden administration argued against a budget proposed by what it dubbed the "extreme MAGA Republican" contingent in the House, referring to the far-right House Freedom Caucus. The federal government is on the brink of hitting its legal borrowing limit on Thursday. In response, the Treasury Department plans to launch “extraordinary measures” to avoid a default.

Of course, Jean-Pierre has accumulated an impressive blooper reel during her tenure, and it is plausible that whatever cooler heads remain in the Biden administration concluded that having KJP grace the podium was not an example of putting one's best foot forward. Perhaps it's putting one's best foot in one's mouth, but certainly not forward. But we are certainly monitoring, keeping an eye on all of this. And we’re going to continue to support the community here. We’re going to — certainly, as Jake said, the OMB director is going to lay that out. We’re going to figure out the best path forward.

As the President said in his statement yesterday, we must refuse to live in a country where Black families going to the store or Black students going to school — to school live in fear of being gunned down because of the color of their skin. Silence is complicity, and we must not remain silent. And we must continue to do all we can to keep guns out of dangerous hands. To be fair, my favorite press secretary of all time, Kayleigh McEnany, carried a binder of reference material as well.

At his direction, the United States has surged ammunition and interceptors for Iron Dome. And the President spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu just a little while ago to talk about additional capabilities that Israel will need. And he pledged that American planes will be landing in Israel with those capabilities in the days ahead. Biden reportedly told Jean-Pierre she would have Kirby “over her shoulder” before she had officially started her position, The New York Times reported in February. A spokesperson for the White House denied that his interaction ever took place. Kirby has taken over the podium at most briefings since the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks in Israel, which have reportedly led to “serious tension,” the Post reported.

Top aides to President Biden secretly hatched a plan this past fall to replace White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre by recruiting outside allies to nudge her out the door, The Post has learned. Recall that on the first day of her job as WH Press Secretary in May 2022, Karine Jean-Pierre wanted the reporters in the briefing room to know how special she was because she is a black lesbian. Q And did the President’s need to be interviewed by the Special Counsel yesterday impede or keep him from giving the remarks he gave today yesterday? Because you know — the press office certainly knows there was a lot of inquiry and concern and criticism that perhaps he was not as publicly engaged yesterday as he possibly could have been.

Q But will you refreeze it based on this activity that — you’ve just laid out all of the ways that they are complicit in this? You — the administration said that if we see them going in the wrong direction, that we would stop that down. And so, President Biden has seen and felt the deep emotional resonance of this. Q Are you also reaching out to those whose loved ones may be unaccounted for?
