White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said there are no plans for President Joe Biden to visit any of the pro-Gaza protests taking place at universities across the country despite calls for him to do so from several lawmakers, including Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA).
Khanna said during a Sunday interview with CBS that Biden “should and will get out there on campuses” after condemning escalating violence at some protests while simultaneously calling for empathy for the people of Gaza. Lawmakers from both parties, including House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), have visited campuses amid the protests.
