White House Press Secretary Karine Jeane-Pierre on Tuesday dodged a question on President Biden\u2019s mental and physical health after the president appeared to confuse French President Emmanuel Macron with French President Fran\u00e7ois Mitterrand, who has been dead for nearly 30 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The gaffe came during a campaign stop in Las Vegas on Sunday. The president was recalling a meeting he had with Macron at the G7 summit in England, shortly after he assumed the White House in 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But instead of Macron, Biden dropped the name of \u2018Mitterrand,\u2019 who was the President of France between 1981 and 1995 and died in 1996.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fox News\u2019 Peter Doocy on Tuesday questioned how the president could convince large swathes of voters who are worried about his physical and mental health after making those comments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jean-Pierre, looking visibly annoyed, told Doocy: \u2018I\u2019m not even going to go down that rabbit hole with you, sir. We\u2019re going to go ahead.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018What is the rabbit hole?\u2019 Doocy asked.<\/p>\n

\u2018You saw the president in Vegas, in California. You\u2019ve seen the president in South Carolina. You saw him in Michigan. I\u2019ll just leave it there,\u2019 Jean-Piere said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Later in the press conference, a reporter asked Jean-Piere to respond to criticisms that Biden has given far fewer interviews during his presidency than his predecessors. The reporter noted that no press conference was scheduled during Biden\u2019s hosting of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, nor was the president scheduled to give an interview during the Super Bowl.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018It just seems, again, like we\u2019re in one of these instances where the president is not communicating with the press,\u2019 the reporter said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018Stay tuned. That is the answer for you,\u2019 Jean-Pierre said, challenging the notion that the president was not engaging with the press.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The reporter pushed back, noting that President Biden has given less than half the number of interviews his predecessors have given at this point in the presidency.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jean-Pierre said the president communicates in \u2018nontraditional ways.\u2019 As to why the president is not doing a Super Bowl interview \u2013 missing out on a \u2018massive audience in an election year\u2019 \u2013 Jean-Pierre said people \u2018want to see the game.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018The president will find many other ways to communicate with Americans, the millions of Americans out there,\u2019 Jean-Pierre said. \u2018And we will find those ways to do it, where we think the time is right.\u2019 \u00a0<\/p>\n

Presidents have given pre-taped interviews with the networks broadcasting the NFL championship game for years now. This year the game is being broadcast by CBS. The practice became consistent starting during President Obama\u2019s first term, though former President Trump skipped an NBC interview in 2018.\u00a0<\/p>\n

2024 will be the second Super Bowl interview in a row that Biden has declined.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n
