The White House press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, flexed her verbal muscles today as she skillfully dodged questions from nosy reporters about the Colorado Supreme Court’s shocking move to boot former President Donald Trump off the 2024 ballot. Instead of being forthright and forthcoming, KJP tiptoed around the issue and avoided taking a solid stance, leaving many scratching their heads.
This isn’t the first time KJP has tap-danced around controversial topics. She previously came under fire for bashing “mega MAGA Republicans” from the White House podium, proving that she’s not afraid to toe the party line, no matter the consequences.

When pressed for a comment on whether President Biden views Trump as an “insurrectionist,” KJP refused to wade into the murky waters of legal matters. She made it clear that the president and his team are steering clear of the whole debacle, providing little satisfaction to those seeking clarity on the administration’s stance.
In a feeble attempt to skirt the issue, another reporter inquired about KJP’s general opinion on major party candidates appearing on the ballot. Once again, she dodged the question, citing legal constraints and brushing off the controversy with vague references to following the law.
While the responsibility to address political developments typically falls on the president’s reelection campaign, KJP’s flimsy excuse for silence raises eyebrows. President Biden himself has not shied away from making bold statements on legal matters, including declaring war on the Supreme Court in the wake of a pivotal decision.
As legal battles over Trump’s eligibility continue to unfold, with the Maine secretary of state poised to rule on his inclusion in the state’s primary ballot, the political landscape remains turbulent. Many anticipate that the relentless challenges to Trump’s eligibility will only serve to bolster his popularity among undecided voters, particularly those contemplating sitting out the upcoming elections.
With Trump’s ballot access hanging in the balance and his ongoing legal entanglements creating perpetual distractions, the Democratic incumbent faces mounting pressure to address his formidable rival. As Trump gains ground in crucial swing states, the White House can ill afford to remain tight-lipped on his surging influence.
