White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre largely drew crickets from the briefing room Monday as she attempted to make a joke.
A White House reporter asked Jean-Pierre about President Joe Biden’s condition after testing positive for COVID-19 a second time Saturday and returning to isolation.
“The day’s still young, you never know,” Jean-Pierre joked, followed by at least one chuckle in a largely quiet room.
“Just making a joke, clearly it was not funny. I will try harder next time to be more funny.”
The press secretary said Biden is continuing to work from his residence.
