Staff Reports
The White House spokesperson, Karine Jean-Pierre, and National Security Council spokesperson, John Kirby, are set to have a chit-chat with the pesky press on Tuesday afternoon. It’s like a big, fancy game of “Telephone,” but with serious stuff, like politics and security!
This whole shebang is happening after good ol’ Joe Biden swung by South Carolina on Monday. Yeah, he did the whole presidential song and dance at the Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, where there was a terrible mass shooting back in 2015. But, oh boy, it wasn’t all roses and sunshine. Some folks started shouting about this whole Israel-Gaza situation. You know, the whole “ceasefire” thing? These folks sure know how to rain on Biden’s parade!

But you know what? Biden’s fan club showed those protesters who’s boss! They just drowned out their yapping with chants of “Four more years!” And one lady even swooned over Biden, saying, “You’re a good man.” Yep, he’s got some loyal fans, that’s for sure.
Now, here’s where things get spicy. Those South Carolina Republicans, they didn’t hold back. They went all in on Biden, saying he was using the site of a tragic mass shooting for his own political agenda. Ouch. They accused him of riling up racial tensions and playing the fear card. It’s like a political showdown, y’all!
All this drama is pointing to one thing: Biden’s crew is scrambling to win back the black voters who helped him clinch the White House in 2020. Looks like he’s got some work to do on that front.
