(Julianna Frieman, Headline USA) White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre appeared on the verge of tears Wednesday as she made excuses for President Joe Biden’s dismal exit polls.
Jean-Pierre appeared on PBS NewsHour the night of Biden’s farewell address, where she was pressed by the anchor about the lame duck Democrat’s final jobs approval rating.
Only 42% of Americans approved of Biden’s jobs performance, while 50% disapproved, according to a PBS News/NPR/Marist poll.

With glossy eyes, Jean-Pierre claimed Americans had not yet felt the impact of the Biden administration.
“The American people have gone through a lot in these four years. And so, we understand that it’s going to take a little bit of time for them, for folks to see the impact that this administration has had,” Biden’s mouthpiece spouted off.
She added that non-specific “facts” and “data” prove Biden wasn’t a disaster, but her words contradicted the outgoing 82-year-old president’s flailing final presidential favorability rating.
Approximately 58% of Americans have an unfavorable opinion of Biden as he prepares to leave office, CNN reported. Just 33% of those polled said they have a favorable view of Biden.
More specifically, Biden was underwater on all issues.
He brought in net-negative approval results on immigration (31%), foreign affairs (32%), the economy (33%), healthcare policy (43%), environmental policy (44%) and protecting American democracy (46%), according to the outlet.
In his farewell address, Biden plagiarized former President Dwight Eisenhower by warning Americans of a “tech industrial complex” — despite years of Democrats weaponizing big tech companies including Amazon, Apple, Google and Meta against President-elect Donald Trump.

“He’s trying to be the new Eisenhower,” former Bush speechwriter Marc Thiessen said Thursday morning on Fox and Friends.
Thiessen noted that working-class voters took down Biden and his big tech buddies by electing Trump, who only had the backing of one social media mogul, Elon Musk.
