White House Adviser Rebukes Reporter's Question on Biden's Alleged Anger

Jake Sullivan dismisses claims of President Biden's anger over poll numbers as baseless, likening it to a loaded question.

  • National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan countered a reporter's query about President Biden's supposed frustration and swearing in response to declining poll numbers, comparing it to the infamous 'when did you stop beating your spouse' question.
  • The question stemmed from an NBC News report suggesting Biden became angry upon hearing his poll numbers were dropping due to his handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict.
  • Sullivan insisted he has never witnessed President Biden shout or swear in such a context, challenging the accuracy of the report.
  • The exchange occurred amid heightened tensions between the U.S. and Israel over the Gaza food crisis and the ongoing conflict with Hamas.
  • Critics within Biden's own party have expressed dissatisfaction with his staunch support for Israel, threatening to withhold votes unless his stance changes.
