Jean-Pierre: Under this administration, Americans with disabilities have seen historic increases in employment, and earnings, and the administration has taken significant steps to protect civil rights, and promote full participation in society.

Reporter: Was anyone ever held accountable by [Biden] directly, for what happened with the withdrawal of Afghanistan, and if not, remind the audience why not.

John Kirby [White House press conference]: We have all held ourselves accountable for the progress of the withdrawal…not everything went according to plan.

Reporter: Thirty-one percent of registered voters said in a New York Times Siena poll that they still need to learn more about [Harris]. So why is she spending so much time trying to define Trump, and link him to Project 2025, rather than define herself?

Jean-Pierre: Obviously those are campaign questions; you would have to ask the campaign…the contrast can't be more clear; if you think about four years ago, America was reeling, it was reeling from a once-in-a-generation pandemic…we saw an insurrection. An insurrection on January 6th, in 2021, that the former president led.

Reporter: Trump has repeatedly disavowed it, distanced himself from it.

Jean-Pierre: And I said republicans. This is something that republicans support.

Reporter: So this is not anymore being cast as something that Trump embraces? Let me get that straight

Jean-Pierre: Project 2025 is something that republicans; not going to speak to the former president on this, but that republicans are pushing.

Reporter: Tell me what the White House makes of former President Trump's comments over the the weekend, saying, "When I win, those people who cheated in elections in 2020, 2024, will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law." Have you seen those comments? Has [Biden] seen those comments? What do you make of them?

Jean-Pierre: I have not spoken to [Biden] about those types of comments, um, uhhhh, and, um, look, um, and I want to be careful, because he's obviously saying it as his campaign capacity, uh, but that type of rhetoric is dangerous.

Jean-Pierre: Reporter: The Biden/Harris administration has been touting manufacturing jobs for the past year, but the last jobs report showed that manufacturing lost twenty-four thousand jobs, and the trend over the past three months, has been a loss of eleven thousand jobs, per month, on average, in manufacturing. Why is it going in the wrong direction?

Jean-Pierre: We pay atttentino, obviously, to all these reports…we also want to make sure it's taken into context…it takes time for factories to be built, and manufacturing jobs to be created.

Reporter: So you need more time? Is there a time frame as to when those jobs will materialize?

Jean-Pierre: I don't have a time frame for you.
