SEE IT: Awkward moment White House press secretary K_JeanPierre reads wrong scripted answer during press briefing
During the briefing on Monday, a reporter asked the press secretary about Sen. Jeanne Shaheen's frustration with President Joe Biden supporting the recent move by Democrats to make South Carolina the first state in the Democratic presidential primary process. The move would put it ahead of New Hampshire in the primary process, which Shaheen believes makes her state “vulnerable for her party.
Jean-Pierre then noticed she had been reading the wrong answer, laughing after saying she"got ahead of myself there." She then flipped a page on her desk and proceeded to re-answer the question. The decision to make South Carolina the first state for the Democrats' presidential primary process was made on Friday and will now have to be approved by the Democratic National Committee to take effect. Biden praised the decision ahead of the vote, and said that he was"committed to working with the DNC to get this done.
Former President Donald Trump is currently the only candidate who has announced his run for the 2024 election. Other possible contenders seen by many for the Republican nomination include Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
