Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

As I quipped to @NorahODonnell tonight, given the length of the president’s news conference, “We were thinking of pitching a tent here on the North Lawn and maybe ordering in.” — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

@jmartNYT Tune in to find out ;-) — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

Asked by @projas_p if he’ll visit Latin America, @POTUS says he spent years focused on the region as VP and as a senator. Doesn’t preview any specific potential visits. “South of the Mexican border is America’s front yard. We are equal people.” — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

THANK YOU, @EliStokols for asking the question about parents of young, unvaccinated children. There’s not enough focus and understanding in Washington and newsrooms of the concern and challenges younger families still face as the pandemic continues. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

“I’m not a socialist. I’m a mainstream Democrat” @POTUS says in response to @pdoocy asking why he’s trying to pull the country so far to the left. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

Q from @kwelkernbc: Are you satisifed with @VP’s work on voting rights? And is she your 2024 running mate? “Yes and yes. … She will be my running mate.” — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

“I have not been out in the community enough,” @POTUS says in response to @kwelkernbc question about concerns of his Black supporters. He says COVID has kept him in DC and hampered his ability to talk to Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

.@kwelkernbc asks if he thinks Putin will indeed invade Ukraine, @POTUS Biden says the decision is entirely Putin’s. It’s “not irrational” for him to want to discuss “force structures” in the European parts of Russia. But talks so far haven’t yielded those kinds of requests. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

And @POTUS Biden signals he is open to bipartisan talks about revamping the Electoral College Act and other elements of the voting reform bill he’d like passed. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

In a follow up, @nancycordes notes she asked @POTUS at his first solo news conference what potential executive actions he could take on voting rights. At the time, he said he didn’t want to share details — and reiterated that today. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

“Did you ever think one man out of office would intimidate an entire party?” @POTUS Biden asks — alluding to former president Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

“What’s Mitch for?” @POTUS Biden asks in response to a question from @nancycordes regarding the Senate GOP leader’s comment today that the midterms will be a report card on the president’s handling of several issues. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

“I think we can break the package up, get as much as we can and come back and fight for the rest later,” @POTUS adds about Build Back Better. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

“It’s clear that we’re going to have to break it up,” @POTUS Biden says in response to @mgroppe question about the future of the Build Back Better plan. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

By the way, this conversation between a president with dozens of years of deep foreign policy experience and one of DC’s most seasoned, best-sourced foreign policy and national security reporters is worth seeing. (cc @POTUS @SangerNYT) — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

“I’m not so sure he’s certain what he’s going to do. … He has to do something,” @POTUS Biden says to @SangerNYT about Vladimir Putin. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

@SangerNYT asks @POTUS again about Putin and if his views of the Russian leader have changed: “I think he still does not want full-blown war,” the president says — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

Q on potential war between #Russia and #Ukraine and if U.S. and West has lost leverage with him. @POTUS Biden says @NATO will be united on how to proceed. “I think what you’re going to see is Russia will be held accountable if it invades.” But will depend on extent of invasion. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

Good q from @allison__news about the conflict between teachers and parents and omicron-fueled school closures. Relevant to many watching now. But @POTUS notes the overwhelming majority of schools are still open and that states now have billions available to retrofit schools. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

Notable: Biden admits the GOP outreach on voting rights hasn’t happened because he’s been focused on getting his party in agreement on the issue. — PolitiTweet.org

Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe

Pressed on what he can accomplish in 2022, @POTUS Biden says he’s confident they can get “chunks, big pieces” of the Build Back Better plan signed into law. — PolitiTweet.org
