White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said Wednesday she was “proud” to speak on behalf of the Biden-Harris administration when asked about the vice president’s lack of accessibility in recent weeks.
Jean-Pierre was speaking with reporters during his daily press briefing when Fox News’ Peter Doocy was asked about Kamala Harris not making herself available to the media since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee.

“The vice president’s team doesn’t hold press conferences. You have to answer everything for them, even though you’re not the vice president’s press secretary. Does that get boring?” Doocy asked.
“I am the spokesperson for the White House, as you all know, of course, for the president, for this administration, for the Biden-Harris administration,” Jean-Pierre responded. “It is an honor and a privilege … to stand before you to be able to do this job. And I will do it for as long as I can, until the end of this term.”

“I am proud to be here, at this podium, behind this lectern, on behalf of the Biden-Harris administration,” she added.
Harris has been criticized for not holding a formal press conference or interview since becoming the Democratic Party’s nominee after President Biden dropped out of the presidential race.
She reportedly declined an interview with Time magazine, despite being on the cover.

Jean-Pierre said Harris was “on the road” campaigning and “answering questions” from reporters.
